OCU 15: Daily routines

OCU 15: Daily routines

I recently spoke at a retreat about my organizing philosophy: Reduce, Arrange, Maintain—and how maintaining is the real key to staying organized long-term. While decluttering and setting up systems are important, keeping things tidy day-to-day is where most of us stumble.

To help, I shared tips on building simple daily routines: planning your day the night before by checking your calendar, prepping meals, and tackling laundry; starting your mornings by jumping into chores to build momentum; and doing quick “resets” throughout the day—like making your bed, wiping counters, or tidying toy areas in short bursts.

Using habits like the “one-touch” or “two-minute” rules can make small tasks manageable—fold laundry right away or quickly sweep crumbs before they pile up. And a family “command center” keeps important papers, grocery lists, and schedules all in one easy-to-find spot to reduce chaos.

With consistent little habits, maintaining your organized home becomes doable—even with busy kids!
