1. You might have some bad habits
Bad habits can make your life harder in many ways, and when it comes to keeping your house organized, the simple things you’ve been putting off can also harm your mental health.
Believe it or not, you’re more likely to do things that cause clutter, even if you don’t think about it. Seeing clutter in every space and admitting you have a messy home can put a lot of pressure on you because you’ll have to set aside extra time to put your belongings in order.
Do you ever come home, change your outside clothes, and instead of putting them back in the closet or tossing them in the laundry basket, you just drape them over the back of a chair? Guilty here.
Or maybe you grab a bite, drink coffee, and don’t do the dishes immediately. You just let them go in the sink, waiting to have more, and do them all at once.
Try to think about those tiny habits that give you a messy home and do little things to get rid of them, like doing each chore the minute you have to. Coming home? Put your clothing in the closet or the wash?
Have some dirty dishes? Do them quickly, or load them in the washing machine for later. This job will take you a couple of minutes to tackle, but if you let it pile up, you’ll have a messy home in no time.
