Step 3 : Keep your home organized to feel better in your mind

When was the last time that you came back home, tired, after a hard day at work, and you walked on a pair of slippers lying on the floor… in the kitchen, you see the dirty dishes that accumulates, you check into the fridge, there is nothing to eat, you forgot to do the shopping, you open a cupboard and the pack of rice falls on your head and the content spreads on the floor… you are searching for a dustpan and you have forgotten it your sheds on the end of your garden but the rain is pouring outside… you decide to take a warm bath but all the towels are in the dirty laundry, you did not use your washing machine since a long time…  Suddenly, the bell rings, your friends are standing at the door, you invited them last week for a dinner… At this moment, you can just sit on the ground and scream your despair… Maybe I'm a bit exaggerating but all these little problems are frustrating when we are already exhausted, mentally and physically…

So, this has to change, from now on, each object will be at its place, the dishes and the laundry will be made on time, you will implement a planning for the shopping in order to avoid forgetting items and to have something to eat at any time…

Why should we be organized ?

Not only to find everything easily but a well organized and clean home improves our state of mind and that can also be seen from outside.  We are in a good mood and have more energy, do the test !  You will see from yourself.  Do you know what Feng Shui is ?  It's the art of organizing your home in order that the Qi (vital energy) can circulate in an harmonious way, this will be covered in a future item.

Write everything !

A shopping list updated each time you see that an item is missing in the fridge, you can also buy some frozen dishes for the unforseen visits.

An agenda to write down not only the appointments but also the things to do, the bills to pay, etc…

A magnetic board to stick little notes for the other members of the family…

Nothing left on the ground !

Sort all your things after having used them, each object should have its own place, nothing has to be left on the ground or on the table, the dirty dishes go immediately in the dishwasher, the dirty laundry in the basket or directly in the machine.

When everything is clean and organized, sit in your chair and enjoy your new home, relax...
