Assign a designated spot for everything in your home, when everyone in your family knows where a specific item is stored, it will be easier to put them back in place and keep everything organized. Although it may take some time to get everyone on board, once they do, it will be worth it.
Tip #2: Put everything away after use
This is an obvious and simple tip, but failing the put items back where they belong is the main culprit of untidiness and will surely result in clutter piling up in the house. By the time you decide to clean, it will be more stressful and time-consuming than when you put everything back in place immediately after use.

Tip #3: Implement a ‘One In, One Out’ rule
This tip is a simple but effective one, all you need to remember is to let go of an existing item after every new item purchase. Instead of storing the old ones away, make sure to put them away, if they’re broken throw them out, or give them away. This will ensure that your possessions won’t accumulate unnecessarily.
