Being organized isn’t a destination, its an ongoing journey. Once you have everything in it’s place, you want to stay that way. Here are 5 easy things you can add to your daily routine today that will help you stay organized and keep things from piling up. And they won’t cost you a dime!
1) Take the extra 10 steps or 30 seconds it takes to put something away when you are done with it. This way you won’t have a dozen things to pick up later that you could have put away in the first place.
2) Always keep your keys, purse, wallet, and cell phone in the same spot. When you’re ready to head out the door, you won’t have to waste time looking for these items.
3) Hang up your clothes or put them in the hamper immediately after you take them off. Tossing them on the floor or over a chair means you’re going to have to pick them up later and until you do, they’re adding to the clutter.
4) Clean up as you go along when working in the kitchen or on a project. It keeps the mess from getting out of control and gives you more work space.
5) Every time you tell yourself “I can do this later”, stop and do it at that moment. All those “laters” have a habit of piling up and can become overwhelming.
These are all simple tips that you can incorporate into your day starting right now! Do you have any tips that you’d like to add to the list?
