If not, you'll want to add them right away! You'll see results in a matter of days.
Starting your day organized and put together only leads to good things to come for the remainder of the day. Cleaning as you go and clearing the path you walk on will keep you moving forward and not looking backwards for items misplaced or stuffed away in clutter.
Try these six simple tips daily:
1. Make the Bed
A made bed makes the whole room seem more orderly, which makes it less likely that you'll let other things -- such as clothes and papers -- pile up around it.
2. Manage Clutter
Whenever you leave a room, take a quick look around for anything that isn't where it should be. Pick it up and put it where it belongs. Insist that everyone in the household do the same.
3. Sort the Mail
Take a few minutes to open, read, and sort mail as soon as you bring it inside. Keep a trash bin near your sorting area for junk mail. Drop other mail into one of four in-boxes: personal correspondence, bills, catalogs, and filing.
4. Clean as You Cook
Instead of filling the sink with pots and dishes, wash them or put them in the dishwasher as you prepare a meal.
5. Wipe Up Spills While They're Fresh
Whether it's gravy on the cook-top or makeup on the bathroom sink, almost anything is faster and easier to remove if you attend to it immediately.
6. Sweep the Kitchen Floor
Every evening once you've finished washing up after dinner, sweep the floor. This will keep tough-to-clean dirt and grime from building up, which will make the weekly mopping much quicker.
If all else fails, hire a staff to attend to these items. I know several great housekeeping companies that will get your housekeeping detail back on track.
