Few Simple Things We Can Do Around The House To Stay Organized?

1. Do laundry every few days. If you wait for it to pile up you'll become a laundry slave on weekends… which clutters your home and takes up TIME you could use doing something else. Throw in a load at night during dinner or while you are watching TV. Don't Let Laundry Pile Up – Do It Every Few Days
2. Pick up nightly before you go to bed - including loading/dishwasher! If you pick up the toys, shoes, blankets, etc each night before you turn in, you wake to a clean house. My rules are: Clean living room and kitchen before bed, no excuses. When I wake up, dishes are clean and look of living room is stress-free. (I even make it a rule to load dishes into washer after every meal so that sink stays dish-free throughout day.) Pick Up Nightly Before Bed
3. Don't touch bills more than twice when they come into your home. When I get a bill, I open it and look it over right away to make sure nothing stands out such failure to credit for a payment, incorrect charges, etc. Then, I set it aside in my 'file' where I keep all bills and then make it a point to PAY IT within 3 days. Don't Touch Bills More Than Twice!
