Delaying or postponing tasks that can be finished quickly will only end up accumulating in an organized manner causing you stress. If you are heading out, you should use it as an opportunity to bring trash with you and get done with this task done. If you wash the dishes right after you eat your dinner, they would not be waiting for you in the sink the next day.
 

Taking care of small things every day will ensure that you don't have to deal with a massive mess that needs to be cleaned immediately. It happens when you procrastinate and let the mess accumulate, or you delay it until you have a sufficient amount of time to tackle the problem. You can also create a to-do list to help you divide the cleaning tasks throughout a week.
 

Dust is one of the things that one can quickly forget until it shows up on your face. Running a dusting cloth over furniture, show pieces, shelves, whenever you find some time, can help your house stay neat and dust free.
 

Accumulating or hoarding things comes naturally to human beings. We all are guilty of this, but sometimes we unnecessarily, store useless stuff in that one drawer or box that seems to contain things we will never really see or use again. We need to learn to let go. Less is more and what is important shouldn't be in the closet anyway.
 

Having some basic house rules and an organized system in place ensures that your house looks relatively tidy and not dirty. If one returns the things to where they belong, there would be no mess in the first place. Place garbage bins in each room so that you don't have to feel lazy about walking to the only container in the house.
 

A bathroom is a place we use the most in the house. A clean bathroom reflects a clean mind. It may feel like a daunting task, but if you get into the habit of wiping down the sink and the tub few times a week, you will already do a lot of work beforehand. Disinfectant wipes or a homemade mixture of vinegar and water are some of the easiest solutions that will keep the bathroom surfaces, walls and tub clean.
 

Technically leaving your bed undone would not sound that bad as you would be back under the sheets again in some hours. But when you grow older, you will realize that just being disciplined to make your bed every morning reflects your control over your life and not the other way around. It sets the tone for the day and makes your room look neat and tidy.
