The bathroom
If you have a bathroom that is cluttered and you feel like you can never find anything… Then the time has come to change that. You only need 15 minutes depending on the size of your bathroom, 20 at most if it is large.
- Put a basket on the door and go into the bathroom, you have to clear all the clutter. Throw dirty hand towels and any textiles that need to be washed into the laundry basket. Replace dirty towels with new, clean ones. Move anything off the floor, like dirty laundry, to its proper place. What's more:
- Discard or recycle items like used tissues, empty toiletries bottles, empty paper towel rolls, etc.
- Fill your container or bag with everything that belongs to another room. Look especially for things that don't belong in the bathroom, like clothes, shoes, and jewelry.
- Sweep the sink / counter and replace items that are out of place.
- If your jewelry keeps coming into the bathroom, you might try storing your everyday jewelry in the bathroom.
- Then do the same in your drawers and under the sink.
- Re-store any items that have reached the wrong place.
- If an item keeps showing up in the wrong place, consider moving it to a new home.
- Take the dirty clothes to wash
Bedroom
The quickest way to tidy up your room is to ignore your clothes closet. The closet will have to be done separately. For now, let's focus on tidying up your sleeping space and surrounding areas. You will dress, sleep and wake up more calmly when you are not surrounded by clutter.
- Put your trash and recycling bins at the door.
- Start at your nightstands and throw everything that needs to be discarded or recycled in the appropriate containers.
- Grab a collection container and walk around your room throwing out any misplaced items. Start with your bed and move out from there. Common culprits here are work papers, mail, books, and coats.
- Return the extra bedding to the linen closet or, if it's dirty, put it in the hamper.
- Rearrange the items on your nightstands and arrange the surfaces.
- Go through the nightstand drawers with a quick clutter sweep: throw away, recycle, or put everything away.
The kitchen
Cooking, meal planning, and eating will be a lot less stressful when your kitchen is clutter-free.
- Walk around with a small container and put everything that belongs outside of your kitchen in the container. Most of the items that left your storage spaces probably ended up on your countertop.
- Sweep your countertops, kitchen table, and island and put everything back in place. Is there an element that keeps ending up in the wrong place? Try to find a more convenient storage space for it. For example, put cookware in jars and cookbooks on a solitary shelf next to the oven.
- Put the appliances back in their proper storage spaces and carefully wrap the cords.
- Straighten each shelf in your fridge, purge out old food, and move vegetables and fruits back to their proper containers. You have to make sure the items are on the shelves by height to maximize storage space.
- Next, straighten the shelves in your kitchen cabinets and pantry making sure all of your jars and bottles are facing the front and neatly stacked.
- Finally, grab that container and put everything that belongs outside of the kitchen back to its place.
- You can combine kitchen cleaning with meal planning.
Livingroom
This may be the easiest room in the house to tidy up because organization is already built in: books go with books, electronics go with electronics, remotes go with remote controls, and so on.
- Grab a trash can big enough to hold things like magazines and books, and then walk around the room putting anything out of place in the trash can. You have to be on the lookout for any items that don't belong in the living room.
- Then you go through each area and return everything to its proper storage location.
- Have children? Throw their toys back in the bins, cubicles, or chests where you keep them.
- In the entertainment center area, unroll and re-store any cables that have twisted out of place. Keep everything in its place.
