5 mistakes you make when doing a tidy up

Have you ever thought why, after all your efforts, your home is still a complete mess, and chaos is surrounding you?

1. Acting before thinking – Maybe you’ve noticed that when you decide to put order in your wardrobe, you just start doing something without actually considering more practical ways of using the space you have. The best way to deal with that is to put the things you use most frequently on places that are easily accessible.

2. You still keep stuff that are of no use – If you regularly clean your home, you will be able to get rid of the whole mess, but, the thing is that you  can’t always have enough time. For that reason, what is important is to learn how to prevent the chaos. Don’t buy clothes or shoes, you’re not about to wear at all. And don’t buy magazines that you won’t even open to read. Just put control on everything that enters your home.

3. You do impulse purchases – Ever since the hypermarkets entered our lives, you can see that people tend to buy things they don’t actually need. The solution: always make a list of the things that you need to buy before you start shopping.

4. You leave the cleaning always for the weekends – It is never enough to have the things placed in order. There is always something more to do – dusting, mopping, etc. But if you split the tasks and do some of them during the week, this will spare you a lot of time on the weekends and you won’t have to spend the Saturdays and Sundays “working”.

5. You allow your kids to create the mess – Have you had the situation when you put order in your closet and then everything goes upside down? Make rules and ask everyone in your family to follow them. This will make it easier to keep the order and peace in the house.
