Monday Motivation

I’m going to share a secret. It’s one of the best ways I know of to keep my home clean and clutter free. Are you ready for it? It’s….

PICK UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY

My husband calls it the neat freak habit. Every time I get up, I tidy-up something. Whether it’s the toys or the pile of magazines, I take a minute to straighten up. I enter the kitchen and see some crumbs on the counter so I wipe them up.

Also, I never leave a room empty handed. Each time I get up to go to another room, I scan the room to see if there is anything that doesn’t belong. Maybe I grab the sippie cup to put in the kitchen or hubby’s shoes to put in the closet. But, never pick something up without putting it where it belongs.

Consistent motion is the key. It keeps me from getting lazy. So clutter doesn’t pile up and dirt doesn’t accumulate.

I know this may seem obvious to some people. But several years ago I needed this reminder. So today I’m reminding you. Remain n constant action and pick-up/tidy-up throughout the day. Create this new habit and you’ll be surprised how great your home will begin to look!
