The Clutter Magnet
We all have that one spot (mine happens to be in the kitchen) where everything seems to accumulate such as mail, keys, papers, random gadgets, and more. I call this the "Clutter Magnet." It's the go-to place for everything that doesn't have a designated home, and it can quickly become overwhelming.
Here are a couple of tips to tame your Clutter Magnet and keep your areas clear and organized:
Tip #1 - Identify the Clutter Magnet
The first step is to identify where your Clutter Magnet is located. In our home, we have a couple of areas that have settled in cozily. It’s usually near the entrance to the kitchen or on the kitchen counter. Take a good look at what tends to pile up there.
Tip #2 - Declutter Regularly
Make it a habit to declutter this area daily. I started off with just five minutes each evening sorting through items, and it made a big difference. Decide what needs to be kept, thrown away, or put elsewhere.
Implement a sorting system using trays, baskets, or small bins to manage items that typically land on the Clutter Magnet. For example, use a tray for mail, a basket for keys and small gadgets, and a bin for miscellaneous items.
Install hooks for keys, a mail organizer for letters and bills, and a dedicated drawer for small gadgets. This way, everything has a designated place, making it easier to keep the counter clear. Lastly, shred papers with personal information or those not so important, and trash the rest!

Find Peace
Owning a cleaning service doesn’t exempt me from being human. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to stay organized and declutter regularly. It's a real struggle! Between managing a bustling household with kids involved in every sport imaginable, juggling training sessions and workouts, and balancing work both in the office and from home, finding peace can often feel like a distant goal. Despite the chaos, there’s nothing quite like coming home to find everything in its place. This rewarding feeling not only reduces stress but also helps me maintain my sanity, knowing exactly where everything is when I need it.
By following these steps, you can transform your Clutter Magnet from chaos to order. Not only will your space look tidier, but you'll also find it easier to locate essentials and maintain clean counters. Remember the wisdom of decluttering expert Peter Walsh: "If you want a new life, you have to get rid of your old stuff."
