Few places in an apartment accumulate clutter as quickly as the kitchen sink. We get it — nobody likes washing dishes, but allowing them to pile up in the sink can quickly turn your kitchen into a cluttered mess. Instead of throwing dirty dishes into the sink to “deal with later,” start rinsing your dishes and putting them into the dishwasher after each use. By making a habit of cleaning your dishes after each meal, you can prevent overwhelming piles of dishes, keep your kitchen cleaner, and enjoy cooking in a clutter-free space!
How you begin your morning can set the tone for the rest of your day. One of the simplest and most productive habits to integrate into your morning routine is making your bed. Taking just a few minutes every morning to fluff your pillows, smooth out your sheets, and spread your comforter across the bed can instantly make your bedroom feel tidier and fill you with a sense of accomplishment at the top of your day. Plus, at the end of the day, a tidy bed makes for a relaxing and inviting place to unwind.
Few things contribute more to how cluttered an apartment becomes than procrastination. Ignoring small tasks with the intention of coming back to them later can cause small chores that would otherwise be completed quickly to pile up and become one big chore that could take hours. As a general rule of thumb, if a task would take less than five minutes, just do it right away. Whether it’s putting away your shoes, tossing junk mail, putting dirty laundry in the hamper, or taking the garbage out, completing quick and easy tasks immediately prevents clutter from piling up and makes your life easier.
Implementing a daily reset into your routine can greatly improve your apartment’s general tidiness. To start implementing a daily reset, simply set aside 5–10 minutes every day you can dedicate to decluttering. Use your daily reset to put things back in their rightful place, toss any junk you find, wipe down countertops, and give your apartment a general once-over. This doesn’t have to take long and shouldn’t involve extensive cleaning. Instead, use your daily reset to identify a piece of clutter you can quickly address and take care of it. Hopefully, by using a daily reset and the aforementioned tips, you can create a tidier and more enjoyable living space!
