With gifts, packaging, and guests coming through, clutter can creep back in faster than ever during the holiday season. But with a few simple habits, you can stay on top of it all.
- The One-In, One-Out Rule
Every time something new enters your home, a gift, decoration, or purchase, remove one old item. This simple balance keeps clutter from piling up. - Daily 10-Minute Tidies
At the end of each day, take 10 minutes to tidy high-traffic areas. Put away wrapping supplies, dishes, or toys before bed. - Create Drop Zones
Set up baskets near entryways or living spaces where temporary clutter can land (like coats or mail). Empty them regularly to avoid overflow.
A little maintenance each day helps preserve your home’s calm and order, even amid the holiday bustle.
From smart storage solutions to mindful decluttering, each of these tips helps you get one step closer to a calmer, more efficient lifestyle. And when you’re ready for a deeper transformation, the best professional organizing services in Alexandria, VA, are ready to help.
