Use space wisely Neededthink in advance where the objects will be located so that you feel comfortable. Experts advise to place things in the immediate vicinity of the workspace so that you do not spend a lot of time moving around the apartment in search of the necessary items. For example, the Japanese who master the basics of management perfectly advise to try the principle of joint storage when things are categorized (used), for example, in the kitchen in a separate locker to keep all everyday plates and glasses, and in the second - festive options, which you will get from time to time.

Take it as a principle to regularly look through things and immediately sort out what you need from what has already become unusable or you simply never plan to use it. Do not save trash, immediately get rid of unnecessary or throwing it away, or giving it to someone. Get into the habit of looking at the most filled-up areas in your apartment every day and slowly disassemble them. Place things that you use all the time, so that you do not have to spend a lot of time searching for them. For those items that you only need from time to time, determine a place so that they do not get tangled under your feet, but if you need to get it easily. Make sure right away, not postponing for later. It’s not worth spending 15–20 minutes every day to clean, wondering what the apartment is still in chaos. If you distribute the work little by little, you will feel as if you did nothing at all. Therefore, it is necessary to allocate one day and do everything inside and out. Thus, you will immediately see the result and realize that you have spent your time for nothing. And from time to time you can only maintain cleanliness, brush off dust, wipe floors, and then each time you will have less and less time and effort for general cleaning. Engage your housework process Do not take on all household chores, otherwise you will get out too quickly and hate the process itself. Better make a plan of action and ask the family to help. At the family council, decide who will be responsible for what and taking into account the individual load. Let it be a small assignment, but you will know that you are not alone fighting the disorder. And do not forget to encourage home for the work done, so that the next time they themselves expressed a desire to do something around the house (without your reminder). Control the work done. Start a home organizer, where you will celebrate what you have done and what remains to be done. List all household duties and detail each item, tick off regular cases and one-time actions, then determine the dates and who will be assigned to this task. As a result, you should get a kind of assignment for the week, indicating who is responsible for what. This will make it easier to control the process and stay up to date.
