If you\u2019ve ever decluttered or Marie Kondo\u2019ed a space only to find it a mess again a few weeks later, you aren\u2019t alone. Cleaning out your home is a time consuming but rewarding task.

  2. Give everything a home. Make sure the whole family knows where things belong so you can all get in the habit of putting them away. It can be helpful to label what goes where to get everyone on the same page.<\/li>\n
  3. Practice! Organizing isn\u2019t a one and done activity. Set aside a few minutes each day to put things away. This could be during a commercial break while watching television or maybe while waiting for something to cook.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
