Neglecting to clean the house even for one day can make it harder for anybody to clean on the following days. Clutter starts to pile up. Something gets lost somewhere. The mess creates confusion and the house starts not to be an enjoyable place anymore. When it was said that everything starts at home, clutter too could be one of the reasons.
One of the best and tested approaches to organization is grouping things into categories. When lumped into categories, the mind is directed to easily recognize which group is assigned to what which therefore makes for easy recall.
There are many organization tools available in the market today one of the simplest, most efficient and least expensive is the hamper.
This simple basket is great at compartmentalizing things. It can make your organizing more simple and easier. One hamper alone when used in a room can already substantially increase the room space that used linen and clothes occupy. Then you can start fixing up the place one at a time. Spending 30 minutes a day to clear up the clutter and start organizing will do amazing things in home organization. The hamper has been synonymous with linen and laundry but it can also be used as storage spaces in lieu of boxes and can be good extension for cabinet spaces.
You do not have to do the clearing up yourself. Kids can be trained for the task. Place a hamper in each room where dirty clothes will be assigned. When everything is dropped into the floor, it will take you time to pick it all up. A hamper on the floor can be just as good as throwing things on it. Boys are generally known to create more clutter than girls do but if a hamper is placed, they often treat it like hoops and start practicing their shooting arms at it. Once a part of the home starts getting organized others can easily follow. Children are good at picking ideas up and doing correlation.
Girls are not so much of a problem but smaller kids usually are. If that is the case, a favorite cartoon character can be attached to it. Organizing will always attract better response in children if it is done creatively and playfully.
To rid of the clutter, and make organizing the house faster, do not hesitate to discard things that are no longer used. For many that could be hard to follow even when common sense tells them that they should. If it is the same with you, select things that you can discard or donate. Others you can keep in the attic while some remains in your cabinet. After a year that the old things are not yet used throw it out. Because things that ceases to serve a purpose does not have to occupy and clutter the house.
Assign a hamper in the bathroom and the same effect can be duplicated. Tossing dirty laundry on the hamper is just the same as throwing things on the floor.
As the idea is picked, the house gets better organized, and the habit is developed.
