 Do you wake up in the morning and see clutter in your bedroom, then later in your office and when you are driving back in your car?  Do you clear a small part of the clutter but it keeps on returning and piling up?Wish you could keep the clutter at bay from the moment you wake up?Well here are some great tips on how to stay on top of your clutter starting from today.

NEVER LEAVE A ROOM EMPTY HANDED - Make sure you take something with you every time you leave room such as dirty dishes from the lounge to kitchen, laundry from bedroom to bathroom, toys from lounge to kids room, mail, etc. If it belongs in a room you will be going to or passing, take that item with you. 

CREATE A DONATION BOX - Every home needs somewhere to collect the things you no longer need. I usually use an old box or big garbage bag and mark it with the words "TO DONATE", to let everyone know what it's for.

ADD 5 THINGS TO THE DONATION BOX EVERY DAY - Each time you go in your wardrobe or through your drawers and see something you no longer love, need or use, put in the Donation Box. Also make everyone in the house, collect 5 things every day to add to the Donation Box. Before the week is over, the box will be full!

DO A 10 MINUTE TIDY UP BEFORE BED - Do a 10 minute tidy up each night before you go to bed, to set yourself up for the next day.  Plug your mobile phones for charging, check and update your calendar, tidy the kitchen and bathroom surfaces, make lunches for the family, choose the clothes to wear the next day and do anything that can help you start the new day the right way.

BOOK A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZER - If you cannot see above the clutter and panic when starting to use the tips above, don't worry.
