1  Concealed Drop Off Spot

Designate one place in your home where you can drop your belongings when you arrive home. Create a bench area with a curtain to conceal what is underneath. Or get a bench that opens up to reveal storage. Having your items out of the way instead of around the floor of the door or peppered throughout the hall will keep the clutter out of mind![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]2  Make Your Bed

Making your bed each day can take up to 1 minute but will make the space feel cleaner right away. When you work from home, it can be hard to avoid taking breaks and lying in bed. But if the bed is made, you are less likely to hop in until it’s time to go to sleep at night. Your bed will feel fresh when it’s time for bed![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]3  Empty the Trash Cans, Sink or Table

Go around the house and find something that is starting to overflow. Is it the bathroom trash cans? The sink in the kitchen? Is the dining room table a mess? Clear out one of these (or all!) and you will immediately feel the peace.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]4  Switch Out Your Bath Towels

Switch out the towels in each bathroom with fresh ones and light a candle. If you are feeling extra, wipe off the counters and mirrors. Your bathroom will feel like a spa!

5  2 Things at a Time

Every time you leave a room, grab two things to put away. When this becomes a habit, the clutter will not increase, but instead you will form the ability to keep rooms feeling tidy. When you go to do the “big clean” of the house, you will not be overwhelmed. Sometimes a room can feel clean until it desperately needs to be cleaned up. Throw away a tissue, grab the shoes off the floor or hang up an item of clothing as a part of your 2 items.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]6  Light the Candle or Start the Diffuser

One of the simplest ways to make your home more serene is to light a candle or start a diffuser. Especially on gloomy days, this can elevate the atmosphere and inspire creativity and productivity.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
