Sooner or later, things accumulate in the apartment. And this applies not only to clothes, but also to unnecessary household appliances, receipts and checks, kitchen utensils, and so on.

If you notice that you are going for a long time in the morning or can not concentrate when working from home, it is definitely time for you to conduct an audit of the apartment and throw away all the junk. About these and other signs of clutter of the house, read our article.

Sign 1: You spend a lot of time on morning gatherings

A girl can't choose what to wear to work.

Quite often, people go to work for a long time simply because they do not want to go there. Bad relations with the team, a tough leader, constant problems that arise during the work process - all these factors contribute to the fact that a person loses any desire to go to the office. Another reason for long morning gatherings may be that you are a real "seamboy" that is difficult to collect yourself in a heap at 7:00.

If the above statements are not about you, then it's not about the features of the character or work, but the fact that the house is cluttered. This manifests itself in literally everything: you can not choose what to wear for a long time, because there are a lot of things in the closet, one glove lies on the nightstand, and the second is unknown where, 15-20 minutes are given to finding the keys, and your favorite shoes (which yesterday "exactly" stood in the shoebox) simply evaporated. If you daily face such or similar problems, then it's time to get rid of all unnecessary items, and each thing to take its place - a purse and keys to put in the upper drawer, things in the closet to lay out neat stacks and so on.

Tip: Try to prepare the clothes and accessories that you plan to wear tomorrow to work, from the evening. Then you do not have to spend time looking for tights or your favorite T-shirt - you will have everything hanging neatly on a chair.

Sign 2: Buy new things without first getting rid of the old ones

 

 

Do not go shopping if you have not conducted an audit of the cabinet.

Shopping is our everything! However, few people know that every new thing should come in place of one old one. If you do not adhere to this rule, then gradually a huge amount of clothes will accumulate in the closet, and there will still be nothing to wear. There is another sign that it is time to urgently restore order in the apartment - at the beginning of the new season you can not find your sweaters, T-shirts, dresses and other things characteristic of a particular time of the year. As a result, new clothes are bought, because there is nothing to walk in.

Whichever of these options turns out to be yours, the outcome is still the same – you need to audit the cabinet and always clean things that you will not need in the near future, in the same place. By the way, the same applies to other items: for example, kitchen utensils, household chemicals, cleaning products. They are also often lost, so allocate lockers for them and always store them there.

Sign 3: You constantly lose everything

 

The girl lost the keys in the bag.

This item is a bit related to the first, but it still needs to be highlighted separately. If you constantly lose an umbrella, cosmetics, phone charger, sunglasses, keys, then you have poorly organized storage in the apartment and things simply do not have their permanent place. They lie where you left them, but every day this "there" changes. Perhaps it is your distraction, but most likely the problem lies precisely in the lack of a sufficient number of storage systems or their total congestion.

Symptom 4: Cleaning takes too long

 

 

It is convenient to wash the floors if there is little furniture in the room.

If you have a lot of open storage systems and all of them are filled with numerous books, figurines, containers, bubbles, cosmetics, and so on, it is not surprising that cleaning takes a very long time. After all, you will agree, it is much easier to remove a few boxes of small things from the shelf, wipe the dust and put them in place than to lift each book. The same applies to washing the floor. When clothes, toys are lying everywhere, the entire area of the rooms is literally filled with furniture, then cleaning can be delayed for everything. It is better to limit yourself to a minimum number of interior items or choose compact and multifunctional copies (for example, furniture 2in1). So you will significantly reduce the time to restore order. Plus it will be easier to keep the apartment clean without resorting to "heavy artillery".

Sign 5: Things fall out of the cabinets

 

If there are a lot of clothes, it eventually begins to fall out of the closet.

And again about the "urgent". If clothes fall out of the cabinets in the bedroom, in the bathroom - tubes of creams and shower gels, in the kitchen - pots, pans and other devices, it's time to check all the items and decide which of them you no longer need. During the revision, there will definitely be items that have expired, or that you do not use. Also try to abandon old things that have long lost their presentable appearance. You do not need them.

Sign 6: Don't want to go home

 

A girl experiences depression when she comes home.

If people (mostly creative) who feel very comfortable in chaos, among scattered things. However, most still prefer orderliness and organization, when all things lie in their places and the apartment is met with comfort, not a mountain of clothes on the couch. It is pleasant to return to such a house, and most importantly - you want to return here. Of course, much depends on the habits and attitude to the order of all family members. However, now we are talking about the physical situation in the house, when the disorder arises solely because of poor storage organization.

Sign 7: You can't focus on your business

 

 

The mess makes you constantly distracted.

Now a lot of writers touch on the topic of how the environment affects the internal and psychological state of a person. A striking example is the book by Gretchen Rubin "Order outside, tranquility inside. An easy way to harmony." It says a lot about the fact that clutter (in any of its manifestations) is bad for well-being, prevents you from concentrating, because your eyes now and then cling to an unmacked bed, dirty dishes in the kitchen or a cluster of books and papers on the table.

Especially the order in the apartment is important for people who work from home. Sometimes they explain the poor discipline and unwillingness to work with their absent-mindedness, however, it may well be that it's all about the surrounding mess. This needs to be corrected as quickly as possible.
