Making resolutions is easy, the problem is sticking to them and being consistent. When making those resolutions you mean well with the intent of keeping to them. One of the most common resolutions people make is getting organised.
Maintaining an organised home is one of the best ways to help keep your other resolutions alive and well. Decide which tasks will benefit you and commit to seeing them through.
Schedule a decluttering day
Decluttering can be a great start to keeping organised. Depending on your level of clutter, it can take you a day or two to get it over with.
It’s always a good idea to start by clearing out your storage spaces, this creates space in the room. Make a list of the rooms or spaces you’d like to prioritise and stick to it. This will keep you in check as you move along.
Create a nightly routine
A night routine can look however you want it to be. Before you head to bed, aim to reset and do something that will make your mornings easy. Washing the dishes before bed also falls part of a night routine as you sleep in a clean organised kitchen.
The routine can only take 20 minutes and will make all the difference in how you feel the next day. Whatever the task may be, it should involve making things easier for you in the morning.
Do a digital detox
Digital clutter is a thing most people are unaware of and in the digital age, organising your online life is just as important as your physical space. It is easier to swallow than the clutter in your home since it doesn’t cause physical obstacles to work around.
Dedicate a day to deleting duplicate photos or irrelevant files and clearing as much storage space as possible. It’s best to work on this resolution over time and be patient.
Build habits that will stick
Make sure to create resolutions that will stick throughout the year. These habits will make it a point your home space stays clear of any build-up clutter.
With such resolutions, start small and focus on one habit at a time, such as making your bed daily or clearing your desk every evening. This way you are building consistency.
