I do not do well with mess. Clutter and I do not get along. As I have gotten older and especially after I had kids I learned that messes and clutter are massive anxiety triggers for me. I have found some things to do daily to keep your house tidy that have TRULY saved my sanity!
Things To Do Daily To Keep Your House Tidy
Clean as you go in the kitchen: My husband is probably so sick of me saying this. I love to bake and baking can get messy, I always clean as I go. Before I even put anything in the oven I put all the ingredients away, wipe down the counters etc. Same when I am making something for the kids even as simple as their lunches for the next day. I put everything away. It really makes the kitchen less intense if you just clean as you go.
Do a 15 minute speed clean twice a day: As a stay at home mom/homeschool mom doing this is a must. Sometimes this is done more than twice a day. This usually means folding blankets, checking the playroom for toys not in the right spot, wiping down counters, putting things away, etc.
Have “reset” times: This goes with the above but just plan 1-2 reset times a day. This can be as easy as 5 minutes!
