4 Create Systems
Having systems in place to help you keep things organized and tidy is another important tip if you want your home to become clutter-free.
The problem is that most of us don’t have a lot of spare time (or energy) for cleaning and organizing. And most homes have ‘bottlenecks’. These are the points at which your clutter gets stuck and piles up – because you can’t do anything about it quickly and easily.
An example might be your washing up – you might see stacks of dirty plates build up. Maybe it’s your paperwork that you find collects. Whatever the case, there will be sticking points. The job of a good system is to remove those sticking points, so that everything moves from one neat stage to the next.
