been doing this for months and have found this to be very helpful: Do a mini chore every time before you leave a room. Put some thing back where it belongs, fold a few piece of laundry, anything. Over time, the room gets tidier without needing to set aside time and gather the motivation for a cleaning. And more often than not, you do more than a "mini chore" when you have started as you have gotten yourself going and might as well do this/that while you are already at it. My room has never been tidier.

Love this johnny chan fan. I have adopted this habit but sometimes I slack off. I like to break up my tidying to small one minute sessions. It's amazing how helpful it is. I have the habit of looking around for out-of place items before I exit a room. Over time things look better.

Quickly dust/ vacuum whatever I can do during a commercial! So far it's been working for me for quite a long time now.

When my children were still in school, I used to have a basket for each of them in the livingroom, and when I tidy I would just put their things in there. Of course they wouldn't put it away and it would just sit there acumulating more stuff, untill I started to empty their baskets on their beds, so they had to deal with it before they lie down. And teenagers lie down a lot!

If you have a kitchen table that's more often used as a catch-all for mail and other clutter than it is for actually eating, go ahead and set the table. With plates and silverware and glasses and napkins and such all set up ready for a meal, you'll be less likely to toss a bunch of crap on there.

When my husband and I were out of our house during construction, I only missed a few things in our hotel. Now that we are home I'm realizing more that I don't need 75% of my belongings. I have boxes everywhere. We've gone through about 15 of them, I guess but still have more to consider. We are slobs by nature and reforming is a process. I do try to keep my kitchen approachable for the morning. A shiny sink looks good for us. Thanks for the video Gabe. You are very helpful 🙂

I've practiced all of these over the years and they really add up when you do them on a daily basis. Lately I've been working on using up ingredients I've collected in my pantry but don't really use on a regular rotation. I applied the hanger rule to my pantry, only have a certain number of jars and containers. When I'm tempted to buy a new or fun looking ingredient I have to decide which jar I'm going to put it in. If there are no free containers I don't buy that item. It's nice to only have what I use in stock!

You are sooooooo lucky that you have both remained on the same page! One of us, who shall not be named, became a little paranoid about having lots of “ back stock” when things became unavailable during the supply chain debacle. Then that person, who shall not be named, started watching prepper videos when work went away during Covid. So now……divergence. It is interesting to see how we both reacted to the last three years and massive family medical issues in the last few years. But, we didn’t come out the same on this issue, nope :) But grace is the key - we are adjusting to each others coping reactions as we have be en doing forever.

Stuff = stress!! Agree. Three years ago, my Mom needed to go into a memory care nursing home and her home had to be sold. It was so very full of useless clutter. Not even good furniture, very little that her children and grandchildren wanted beyond photos and a few small mementos. My Mom was borderline hoarder, kept so much "just in case". It took weeks and weeks to get rid of it all. For almost no money. Last year I downsized from 1400sf to 930sf and got rid of so so much and can still get rid of more. My kids won't want my stuff. I'm giving them some photos now to enjoy. I will not put them though the stressful ordeal of disposing of tons of my stuff when I'm gone. My Mom's "just in case" habit caused weeks of unnecessary stress on my sister and me.

Tips for you ! Is to have a box full of those things you "should give back to X or Y or Z person", ideally by the door, with a sticker "X or Y or Z" on it. When you give the item back, you keep the sticker for later. Like this when I'm going to see, let's say, Bob, I can see "oh there's this scarf with his name on it", and I don't wait to give it back to him "one day"... while having the scarf waiting around.
