The 10 Biggest ORGANIZATION MISTAKES That Are Keeping Your House Messy!

this elaborate plan it's actually very simple and I have a hack for you so go on Pinterest or Google and put in cleaning schedule and there are cleaning schedules that have already been made with printouts for daily weekly and monthly cleaning tasks you need some kind of a structure that's going to work for your family so it's not going to be one siiz fits all I will put the one that I use down in the description box and I have it printed out on the fridge now so it is very clear what needs to be done daily weekly and monthly so next reason number four which to me is the biggest reason if my home is messy and that is neglecting daily maintenance I think it's the daily tidying of the home that really helps keep things in order and if I skip even one day I mean it's total chaos so these are the three daily things I do to keep the house maintained the first is something I have shared on this channel since the beginning the OG's know this don't put it down put it away as I go through my day I repeat that in my mind because eventually it's going to have to be put away so you might as well do it as your holding the item

the next is I have two structured daily 10-minute cleaning sessions one is after lunch midday and then one is after dinner you could set a timer if you want it helps I put on my headphones in a good podcast or audio book and I'll just do a reset after lunch and a reset after dinner and you will be shocked by how much you can get done in 10 minutes

the third thing I do is you clean as you cook so as the water is boiling as the fish is in the air fryer I am cleaning up I'm trying to reduce the mess as much as possible

reason number five moms you're going to love this one and that is taking too much of the burden on yourself and not delegating okay the entire family needs to be involved in the upkeep maintenance and cleaning of the house so have a family meeting get your cleaning schedule that you printed out so have a family meeting get the cleaning schedule that you printed out and delegate task you should not be doing everything so sit down with your print out of your cleaning schedule and delegate tasks

one little hack okay this has changed everything in my household is I have a rule that my kids cannot watch TV in the evening until they've done their chores if you want to talk about motivation I mean that's a major motivation Carter even has his little tour chart that he has to cross off

reason number five moms your going to love this one and thats taking too much of the burden on yourself and not delegating okay the entire family needs to be involved in the upkeep maintenance and cleaning of the house so have a family meeting get your cleaning schedule that you printed out so have a family meeting get the cleaning schedule that you printed out and delegate task you should not be doing everything so sit down with your print out of your cleaning schedule and delegate tasks

reason number six your home may always feel messy is due to over complicating your organization so this is kind of the opposite to the first thing I said which is having too little structure you also don't want too much structure because then it's not realistic that you're going to maintain it so my little rule I like to follow is the throw it in test your organization systems in your house should be simple enough that you can just toss it in toss and go so toss in a drawer toss in one of your clear organization bins there shouldn't be anything more complicated than that

reason number seven failing to purge and declutter regularly this is not a one-time thing we don't just declutter ones and create our organization systems and forget them they have to be regularly maintained and checked in on I like to do four declutters a year so I will just pre-schedule donation pickups four times a year so that gives me a deadline

and the last reason is failing to purge and declutter regularly this is not a one-time thing we don't just declutter ones and create our organization systems and forget them they have to be regularly maintained and checked in on I like to do four declutters a year so I will just pre-schedule donation pickups four times a year so that gives me a deadline

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyou find that you are constantly cleaning yet somehow your house is still constantly a mess like what is going wrong what is happening here that is how I feel so today we're going to talk about breaking the cycle what I call the cycle of mess the real reasons that our house feels like it's always messy and what are the realistic easy things we can do to stop the cycle if you are new here to my channel don't forget to subscribe press the like button there's a fun little animation that plays now let's get started with the first first reason why your home may be messy and that is due to a lack of storage solutions your things in your house need to have a place where they belong otherwise they're just going to become clutter my hack here is that there are only three different containers that you can use to organize your entire home and they're very cheap okay the first are these clear containers that you can use to divide your drawers because if your drawers do not have dividers in them they will be doomed to chaos and they will become a junk DK so all you need to do it literally takes five minutes is subdivide with these clear modular dividers that will fit in any size drawer just kind of play Tetris in your drawers put these in there then subdivide your items so that's our Easy Storage solution number one number two these clear medium siiz containers are perfect for under your sinks in your cabinets in your pantry in your bathroom you want to subdivide and put light items together it is so simple and I like a clear container because you can always see what's in it and then our storage solution number three are these large clear bins and this is for larger storage pieces like out of season clothes toys that you want to rotate out of your home get the large clear bins but for me clear is key so you can actually see what's inside reason number two your house is always messy is due to hoarding and clutter so when you have too much Stu stuff there's not going to be enough space for it and there's going to be mess everywhere so basically items are coming in but nothing's going out and we only have limited space right think about what is always the messiest in your home that's what I want you to tackle first in our house it is definitely toys there are toys everywhere we just have too much and it's time to do a purge so I want you to schedule a donation pickup just do a Google search donation pickups and schedule it put it on the calendar that will give you a deadline I need a deadline otherwise sure I'll get to it later so do that right after you watch this video that's your challenge and a little tip hack that's going to make this easier for you if you have a hard time letting things go is what I call the Purgatory bin so this is the bin for items that your logical side knows that you should get rid of you're not really using but your emotional side of your brain just can't let it go maybe you have an emotional attachment to it or have you spent too much money on it put it in the Purgatory bin then take this put it in your garage or storage area and set a reminder in your phone for 6 months and if you have not needed anything in that bin in a 6mon time period Then you know you can peacefully Let It Go the next reason you may feel that your home is always a mess is due to poor time management and a lack of structure you need a system in place we have busy schedules we're not organized it's not realistic that things are consistently going to stay clean and you don't have to create this elaborate plan it's actually very simple and I have a hack for you so go on Pinterest or Google and put in cleaning schedule and there are cleaning schedules that have already been made with printouts for daily weekly and monthly cleaning tasks you need some kind of a structure that's going to work for your family so it's not going to be one siiz fits all I will put the one that I use down in the description box and I have it printed out on the fridge now so it is very clear what needs to be done daily weekly and monthly so next reason number four which to me is the biggest reason if my home is messy and that is neglecting daily maintenance I think it's the daily tidying of the home that really helps keep things in order and if I skip even one day I mean it's total chaos so these are the three daily things I do to keep the house maintained the first is something I have shared on this channel since the beginning the OG's know this don't put it down put it away as I go through my day I repeat that in my mind because eventually it's going to have to be put away so you might as well do it as your holding the item the next is I have two structured daily 10-minute cleaning sessions one is after

has changed everything in my household is I have a rule that my kids cannot watch TV in the evening until they've done their chores if you want to talk about motivation I mean that's a major motivation Carter even has his little tour chart that he has to cross off next reason is overloading our shelves surfaces with stuff this becomes visual clutter it's like Coco Chanel once said fully get your yourself all dressed accessorized and then remove one or two things so go around your decorative shelves your surfaces your kitchen and your challenge is just remove two things two things that maybe don't need to be there just a little extra the next reason your home may always feel messy is due to over complicating your organization so this is kind of the opposite to the first thing I said which is having too little structure you also don't want too much structure because then it's not realistic that you're going to maintain it so my little rule I like to follow is the throw it in

forget them they have to be regularly maintained and checked in on I like to do four declutters a year so I will just pre-schedule donation pickups four times a year so that gives me a deadline and you have to do it regularly also if you can try to follow the rule of one in one out so if you get a new sweater like this is my new sweater I can look in my closet and remove a sweater or you get a new cute pair of heels go through the heels you already have and remove a pair so my challenge for you today right now is to schedule your donation pickup and pick that one type of item that you're going to prioritize decluttering today or this weekend and if you missed my last video I posted a few days ago these are some simple ideas to make your home look more elevated look more polished and
