An expert on organization says the best way to get your home looking good is by dedicating 15 minutes a day to just one thing.
If you can make it a habit, your whole home will end up feeling a lot more organized within a few weeks.
Start by looking around and making a list of all the spots that need tidying up. Then knock one of them out each day. Studies have shown doing things in small chunks like that can help keep you motivated.
Don’t overdo it. Keep each project small and really try to commit to the time limit. Here are a few things that should take 15 minutes or less to declutter . . .
A junk drawer . . . your pantry . . . your vanity or personal care area . . . your medicine cabinet . . . the spot where you toss your mail or your keys . . . your desk . . . your fridge . . . and a closet, or even just one section of it.
