It's the Little Things | Portland

So, your home is clean, uncluttered. It might even be *gasp* properly organized. Now, how to keep it that way?

After you've spent the time to get your home (and maybe even your life) tidied up, do you have a strategy stay on top of things?

Here's a few tips to keep your grasp on the situation. 

You have two hands, use one to put something away as you walk from one room to the next. 

If you spot clutter trying to take hold, stop it in its tracks. Clutter attracts clutter, so it should be dealt with as soon as you notice it. Put it away, wash it, just don't let it start a party on your counter, table or desktop- it will get out of hand quickly otherwise. 

Stop. Sit down. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths. Open your eyes and take a look around. You will probably spot at least one thing out of place. Deal with it, then enjoy your day- and your fresh, clean space!
