Today let's discuss some small actions that, over time, help to make life a little easier.
*** If you take something out, put it back when you are done. If you are not done, but you won't be working on it (whatever IT is), put it away until you have the time to work on it.
*** Clean your dishes when you are done with them, I like to wash the dishes as I am baking or cooking. However, I will let the dinner dishes sit for two days. In order to have a neat and tidier home, I am now washing the dishes as I go and have instructed my children to do the same. In the morning when you have finished eating your breakfast, before you do anything else, I tell them, clean your dishes. They don't even have to put them away, just wash them!!!
*** When you take the clothes out of the dryer, fold them immediately. I like to use the (clean) dining room table to fold and sort the clothes for everyone. This makes me keep an uncluttered dining room table.
*** Have a place designated for footwear. Boots on a mat near the door (winter) and other footwear into a closet or the owner's bedroom. I like to use the hanging plastic shoe racks, but shoe boxes work well, too! Also consider, if you have many pairs of shoes, printing a picture of the shoes that correspond to the shoe boxes you store them in so that you have a quick reference point when seeking out a specific shoe.
*** Wipe the kitchen and bathroom sink daily. It is a small action that makes a big difference. Do the counter as well!
*** Absolutely no clothing on the floor! Period, end of discussion.
*** Use a bag sealer for frozen foods if you will not be using the whole bag. This will save you money by preventing freezer burn, so you can actually cook and eat what you have in the freezer.
*** Keep your grocery coupons on your phone or in your car so you can actually use the ones you have before they expire.
Just a few thoughts I wanted to share that involve small actions that create a more harmonies living space.
Thathatha thats all folks!
