Stay organized no matter how busy you are! 10-minute quick tidying tips every day

1. The dilemma of busy modern people at home

• Multiple role pressure

Office workers often need to balance work, family, and social life, which makes them physically and mentally exhausted and they have no time for thorough cleaning or tidying up.

• Clutter accumulates quickly in the home

Bags, coats, mail, paper bags, etc., left unattended, can eventually become a pile that is difficult to sort out.

• A vicious cycle of low frequency cleaning

Many people wait until the mess becomes unbearable before they start to tidy up everything at once, which is time-consuming and laborious and they are prone to give up halfway due to fatigue.

2. Master the "return to your place" principle: deal with the entrance first after returning home

• Put your shoes on the shoe rack as soon as you take them off

Avoid leaving your shoes by the door or in the living room so your home is clean from the first step you take when you enter.

• Carry-on bags and jackets

Place a coat rack or hook at the entrance, and hang up your bags and coats as soon as you get home to keep clutter out.

• Storage for small items

Small items such as keys and transportation cards can be placed in small baskets or trays to reduce the chance of them being thrown around.

3. 5-minute scan of the living room and frequently used areas

• Tidy up the coffee table and sofa area

Snack bags, tissues, and remote controls all have their own fixed locations. You can place a small storage box on the coffee table and put it back immediately after use.

• Quickly clean your desktop

When you bring back documents or magazines from get off work, temporarily put them into classified folders or drawers to avoid piling them up.

• Quick fixes in the kitchen and at the table

After eating, wash the dishes immediately or put them in the dishwasher, and only keep documents or necessary items that need to be dealt with that day on the table.

4. Develop a 10-minute tidying habit

1. Schedule a fixed time slot

It is recommended to do it right after returning home every day, or take 10 minutes before going to bed.

2. Start with the easy and then move on to the difficult

Focus on one or two key areas (such as the entryway or living room) each day, rather than cleaning them all at once to avoid overloading yourself.

3. Family or roommates participate together

It is more efficient to divide the work and cooperate. You can tidy up the coffee table while another person cleans the kitchen countertop.

4. Build good habits

Once you develop a daily habit of putting things where they belong, tidying up becomes a breeze.
