10 Steps to Make Home Organization Easier
I think it’s important to find ways of how to make home organization easier. The easier and less work it takes the more likely you and your family will be to get it done and keep up with it.
1. In our house, we try to take 30 minutes on Sunday, set a timer and all help clean up and get our house in order. It’s a good way to get a lot done, and it doesn’t take a long time with all of us helping out.
2. Every night I aim to get the dishes finished and in the process of getting the dishes done I usually get the kitchen picked up as well.

8. Clear out
9. If you have kids, choose things that they can do based on age. My daughter doesn’t have official chores, but there are things that she’s responsible for and stuff I know she can do so I have her do it.
