Grandma’s Decluttering Rule
This ApartmentTherapy post is refers to decluttering but I think it’s more keeping order. Perhaps one has to have decluttered to keep order but that’s another story. This rule, which I love, is never leave a room without taking something that doesn’t belong out of it. As stated if every time you change rooms during the course of the day you take something out, by the end of the day everything will be neat.
This rule goes well with my thought that I can pop over at a neighbours and their condo always looks great. Whereas if someone pops into my condo unannounced I’ll be apologizing for the mess. I must instigate this rule in my condo.
