When you gaze around your home does clutter and mess meet your eye in every direction? Are you so overwhelmed by the clutter and mess that you don’t feel like you can lead the life you dream about? Maybe it is time for a serious de-cluttering project. Sometimes it just takes a little time and maybe some small investments to make your home environment much more liveable.
After you have taken out the trash and stuffed everything out of sight into drawers and closets, you need to consider ways to make your use of your home space more efficient, so the clutter doesn’t immediately creep back up and overwhelm you again. The area where you do your laundry is a good starting point. Set up a system that minimizes your movements. You could have all family members bring their dirty clothes to a centrally located basket every day before leaving for work, school, or play. Then, instead of wandering all over the house twice a week looking for THEIR dirty clothes, all you have to do is grab the full hamper and head for the washing machine. To ensure cooperation from kids and spouses, make a rule: only items in the hamper will be washed. They will learn.
How many minutes do you spend every week looking for a large enough empty space to set up your ironing board, and then wrestling with the ungainly contraption to set it up? A great way to save space, time, and frustration is to install a compact fold-down ironing board in a convenient spot near your laundry machines. You can find several different models to fit your needs, from a full sized board that opens out into a room to a more compact version that fits into a tighter space. When you are ready to iron, all you have to do is fold the board down and get started. No more pinched fingers, twisted backs, and curses as you wrestle with your old-fashioned board that takes up too much space.
In addtion to your laundry area, consider others rooms in your house where you spend a lot of time. Organize your kitchen by placing pots, pans and other cooking items close to the area you use them. Check out outdoor spaces such as your garage or workshop and investigate ways to make more efficient use of space. You might also consider at this time ways to make your home more comfortable and inviting so your family will be less likely to want to let it get all cluttered again.
