And then we can collect and throw away the few crumbs that have accumulated on the coffee table during the day. All set and done!

Speaking of families, we can include the children in the Keep Order project, depending on their age. This includes, for example, the children helping to clean their room. Especially the floors should be free of toys at night. Because no one of the little ones wants to waddle to the toilet at night, then to injure themselves on an object on the floor. Shoes needs to also be in place. It is best to define a place in the room for our children where the shoes will find their place. If we do this every evening with our children, they will develop a habit of keeping things in their designated places pretty soon.

Desks, whether in our workroom or in the nursery, should be cleared off any undesirable items in the evenings.

And the dirty dishes of the day can be put in the dishwasher. Here are 7 time saving tricks to keep your house spotlessly clean.

Dirty clothes do not belong on the floor or on the chair in the bedroom. Because in the end we do not even know what was dirty and what was still clean. So off with dirty pants, tops and underwear in the laundry basket.

8. The To-Do List: What are the tasks for the next day?

Nothing bothers us more than the moment when we wake up at night worrying about the tasks for the next day. But that is not necessary. Let's just make a weekly schedule that tells us what to do: medical appointments, school events, paying bills, and shopping that needs to be done. So we certainly sleep more peacefully. 

Our tip: If we still tend to wake up at night, we should put paper and pen next to the bed and write down immediately what's popping in our heads. So we find it easier to sleep again. Works: Promise!
