How to keep your home organized

by Adelaida “Ady” M. Artime, P.A. 02/18/2024

Whether you're a homeowner or a renter, running a household and keeping your daily home life organized can be quite exhausting if there isn’t a set order in place. 

However, you can ease some stressors of maintaining your home and utilize your time more efficiently by creating lists organizing household tasks and needs. 


Make your bed as soon as you get your day started 

Before getting your day started, it’s a great habit to make up your bed. Making your bed gives your room a cleaner and more polished appearance, and can also be a mood booster. 

Studies have shown having a cleaner living space can increase your generosity, improve focus and decision-making, and even magnify your creativity. 


Create a chore list & cleaning schedule

No matter the size of your living space, chores can amount quickly. Between the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, sweeping and other needed cleaning tasks - it’s easy to become overwhelmed with all that there is to do. 

However, creating a chore list and schedule can help you prioritize areas of your home in need of maintenance and cleaning, as well as remember when these items need to be addressed. You can also use this list to assign certain tasks to members of your household to ensure duties are divided for maximum efficiency. 


Make use of storage devices 

Over the years, your belongings, such as gadgets, clothing and other goods can start to pile up. With proper storage in place, you can sort, organize and neatly keep items sorted away. 

Consider investing in shelves, storage bins, cabinets, and other storage solutions to track where your items are and keep them off the floor. 


Sort mail as soon as it’s brought into the house 

With so much promotional content, bills and other material being sent to your mailbox, sometimes it’s easy to simply throw mail on the table to sort at a later time. However, if you take the time to sort through your mail as soon as it’s taken out of your mailbox, you can decrease the amount of clutter in your home and figure out which items to prioritize. 


With excellent storage, checklists and basic upkeep - you can make your house feel like a home and keep your space organized.
