The letter “C” is for Clutter!  What else could it be in the world of organization?  But we are going to make it Clutter-Free for the sake of this blog.  In your organizing efforts, it is so important to start small so as not to get overwhelmed and give up.  There are just a few things that I think are important to include into your daily routine that make a big difference in your life.  They are:

1. Make your bed every morning.  It will provide a “aaahhh” moment when you walk into your room each time during the day.
2. Process the mail (completely) as soon as you get it from the mailbox.  Don’t leave  items for later or scattered around the countertop.
3. Plan the meals the day before.  There is nothing nicer than having everything at your fingertips when you are ready to prepare dinner.
4. Pull everything together for the upcoming day at the back door so that it is ready as you are dashing out the door.
5. Empty the dishwasher as soon as you can after it is done running and don’t wait until it is time to make dinner.
