Some people (usually creative ones) feel very comfortable in the chaos of scattered things.

But most of us still feel more comfortable being among things that are organized and in their proper places. It is pleasant to come back to such a cozy apartment, and most importantly, you want to come back.

Therefore, if you are putting off returning home until the last minute, try decluttering your home. The following signs also indicate that it is time to tidy up.

It takes you a long time to get ready in the morning.

If you spend a long time getting ready for work, this may indicate that your home is cluttered: you have a hard time choosing an outfit from the ton of things lying in your closet, you can’t find a pair for a glove or sock, you spend a lot of time looking for your keys or favorite shoes.

If you face these or similar problems every day, it's time to get rid of all the unnecessary things and organize your storage. Assign a place for each item: put your keys and wallet in the top drawer of your desk, and arrange your clothes in neat piles in the closet.

We recommend that you prepare the clothes and accessories you will wear tomorrow in the evening. This will save you time searching for the necessary things and you will know that everything you need is already neatly hanging on the chair.

You can't concentrate on your business

The surrounding environment influences a person’s internal and psychological state.

According to a number of experts, clutter has a negative impact on well-being and interferes with concentration, since we are constantly distracted by dirty dishes and an unmade bed.

For those who work from home, it is especially important to keep the apartment tidy.

Spend too much time cleaning

Lots of open storage systems filled with books, figurines, cosmetics and other small items make cleaning difficult. Agree: it is much easier to lift several boxes filled with small items and wipe the dust underneath them than to lift each item separately.

Same with washing the floor. Limit the number of interior items and choose compact multifunctional furniture.
