KEEP AN ORGANISED HOME WITH THESE EVERYDAY HABITS
-
MAKE BEDS EVERY MORNING
Encourage your kids to make theirs too. We really believe the whole house feels more organised and calm. Knowing the beds are made and our bedroom is tidy makes us feel less stressed when the rest of the house gets messy. To make things easier, we don't use top sheets (flat sheets) on any of our beds. Above the fitted sheet you'll find just a simple duvet with a linen cover.
VACUUM BEFORE WORK
See it as a 10-minute morning meditation. Take a deep breath, gather your thoughts and before you know it your house will feel fresh. (It also forces you to pick anything up off the floor that's been scattered around – so your house is not only clean, but tidy too.)
KEEP COUNTERS CLEAR
Don't allow your kitchen counters or dining table to be the landing space for all the things that come into the house every day. If you use your dining table as your desk, put away all the work stuff (cables, notepad, pens, computer mouse, etc) at the end of each working day.
