Arranging

Identify what is remaining and arrange it into similar items.

Step 2.

Entropy is another word you may or may not be familiar with. It’s a physics term defining the energy level required to maintain an orderly system. Your home is that system, and everything inside your home has a specific degree of energy necessary to maintain orderliness. That means doing dishes, making the bed, and taking a shower all take a certain amount of your energy. Arranging your home takes a lot of energy, so making it lean and clutter-free will decrease your must-do energy.

    1. Here are tips to help you have a nicely arranged home.
      1. How often?
        1. Did you have dinner? Do the dishes as quickly as possible.
      2. Grouping is possible.
        1. Is your coffee maker in the corner and the coffee cups across the kitchen? Group it all together.
      3. Labeling – is my favorite part.
        1. Cereal not put away? Put a label where it should go.
      4. Where do I put this?
        1. Assign a spot for everything – mixer, toaster, bread. Define how much you use weekly, or longer if needed, and create a dedicated place. Remember, decide what you use most frequently and make it available. I mean, make it the most convenient spot. Is your dog ready for a walk outside? Make a dedicated spot at the door for the dog leash and no place else.
