Break the “I’ll just put this here for now” clutter habit
Much of the time, clutter around the home is caused by family members being too busy or careless to put things away after using them. Adults may say to themselves as they set purses, keys, shoes, mail or other personal items down “I’ll just put this here for now”, and pretty soon big piles and clutter results. Kids often leave out their toys, school supplies or other personal items lying around underfoot. One easy way to reduce clutter in your home is to remember to never leave a room empty-handed. You can teach this to kids too by providing them with a basket to throw things in, then carry to their rooms at the end of the day. Encourage your family to be responsible for their belongings by taking the time to put them where they go when they’re finished with them and not bring anything else out until they do.
