Top tips for a tidy home

[nyecamden]

Most of the following apply to houses/flats that have got a bit out of control.

Are you faced with 1001 different things that need to be done? Does the thought of that daunt you? Don't worry, you don't have to do 1001 things right now. Just do one thing, and if you do more than one thing, see it as a bonus

If you haven't touched an item in over a year, you need to get rid of it This is so true! Plus I use it for clothes that I haven't worn in over a year.

When it comes to me buying stuff for myself, I put it on a wishlist, and then at the end of the month, I look at it and think, 'Do I still want to buy this?' It's surprising how many things I thought I'd need that I actually don't care about after a little time has passed.

Thanks for the top tips.

You're welcome :-)

I've been thinking of you lately. I'd like to meet up again sometime, depending on time and energy.

Please do! *grins*

Great article. I found that starting out by tidying an area/stuff that I don't use much anyway is a good idea. Gradually build up unused tidy areas so that by the time you get around to tidying the areas/stuff you actually use you'll have a half-tidy place. Cheating rocks. :-)

Thank you :-)

Good points! I've got some more for kitchens which are out of control. This is my easy method for getting them back again

Hm, I think I'll save this. I did a lot of what you suggested when I was staying at my friend's.

I definitely agree about the rubbish/re-cycling, certainly when things are in a highly unmanageable state.

Good, inspiring post. Cheers. :)

Now to tackle a square foot. Think I'll do that by taking a laundry basket down and put a load in.
