tidy & declutter daily-use surfaces before the end of the weekend

This is not to say you need to fully declutter and perfectly organize your home every Sunday. No! But will you feel better on a Monday morning if your kitchen counter is clear and easy to cook on? Yes. Will you be pleased with your yesterday self if you've put away the basket of random items that accumulated at the bottom of the stairs? I think so. Make this easier by temptation bundling: I like to pop in noise-cancelling headphones, put on a show (right now I'm re-watching Girls) and spin around like a human tornado putting things away while I distract my brain. Housework isn't fun, for the most part. I'm not trying to pretend like it is, but the reward of a clear space and a clear brain on Monday morning is worth it, for me.
