Try at least one or two of these.
Keeping your home tidy can be a challenge, but it doesnt have to be.
Even if you cant commit to all of these, try at least one or two.

Youll be surprised how much tidier your home will become.
Instead of dreading doing a big whole-house declutter every seasonsimplydeclutter regularly.
you’re free to schedule according to what makes sense for you.
Do your garage on the first rainy day of every month.
Spend fifteen minutes going through your pantry every third Saturday.
Or simply commit to decluttering as shelves and drawers start to fill up.
Set a timer on your phone and pick an area that needs the most attention.
Edit Your Closet Seasonally
Commit to editing your closet quarterly.
Gather Items You Reach for Often
Lounging on the couch?
Gather your craft project, nail file, charger, and fave snack.
Manage Your Mail
Do you have piles of mail everywhere?
Hate looking at those stacks of paper?
Cha recommends setting time aside to open mail only when you’re truly ready to go through each item.
Sort and open just a couple days weekly.
No more home-hogging piles or missed to-dos.
Start by limiting your stash to ten.
Carry reusable bags in your wheels to curb the bag barrage inside your home.
Five’s the charm per car, Cha says.
Limit Seasonal Decor
Do you have boxes of Christmas, Halloween, and Easter decor?
This can make your closet or garage a mess.
Cha suggests capping your decor to one bin perseason(exceptions for your favorite festivity).
Sort by season, not holiday.
Refuse Things You Dont Want
We all get things we dont want sometimes.
