Four Useful Home Organization Tips to Create A Clutter Free Zone

Once you have reduced clutter in your house, it’s time to implement new systems to keep your clutter free house as the status quo. If your new systems are working well, then as the weeks go by and you’ve been doing regular decluttering, your home will hopefully be a clutter free zone.

To help achieve that clutter free zone, here are some useful home organization tips to apply:

Carry out Regular Cleaning

Always try to complete regular cleaning chores around the home on a weekly basis. Performing family chores and cleaning up around the house on a regular basis will help to maintain a well organized household. Get the family members to assist with regular cleaning chores around the house.

Create a Household Organizing Roster

One good method for getting organized is to create a roster of all of your cleaning and decluttering tasks in a folder. Keep your roster up to date by revising the roster for any new tasks and assign responsibility to different members of the household. Provide incentives for the kids if they complete their cleaning chores by the assigned date and do a good job.

A Creative Way to Label Your Organizing Roster

Label your roster by using stickers, for example, stickers with different colored dots to identify different rooms that need cleaning. For example, use red stickers for the kitchen area. So Johnny, your eldest child could help complete any “red dot” tasks which are all the decluttering tasks that relate to the games room. Likewise, your husband could complete all the “green dot” tasks that relate to cleaning and maintenance tasks outside the home such as in the garden, or in the garage.

Creating and maintaining a roster provides a ready reckoner to review the household duties that need to be accomplished during each week when keeping your house organized. So that you stay on top of things at all times.

The Weekly Whiteboard Decluttering Schedule

The weekly whiteboard decluttering schedule is an excellent way to manage decluttering tasks around the house. To use this method, you’ll need a big whiteboard and markers so that you can list all the tasks for the weeks.

Make sure to hang your whiteboard in a prominent area of your house such as the kitchen so that it can be viewed easily by everyone. So as each week comes around the whiteboard will shows the decluttering tasks to be completed, and which member of the household is responsible for the task.

After the end of the week you could erase the old dates and replace them with new dates for the upcoming week. The tasks on your whiteboard will stay more or less the same, only the dates will change. Allocate tasks each week to different members of the household, so as to add some variety with the tasks that are assigned each week.

Pick one of the ideas above and take action to declutter your home. Your well organized home should be the status quo ie. a clutter free zone at all times.
