how to become a tidier person?

Question

Erika · Answer

When you are leaving a room, take something with you that doesn't belong there: This is adjacent to "stacking habits" - using the habit you already have to add on another habit. You are already leaving the room, just grab the mug to the kitchen. You are already making coffee, use the waiting time to empty the dishwasher. This has really made it easy for me to keep up with things!

atomic habits: declutter, the less stuff the less opportunity for mess. develop a routine in the evening of tidying up before bed, don’t go to bed until things are in place. for me its just been about starting new habits. hard at first but then feels normal. its ok if things get messy, as long as they dont stay messy for long :) realizing the effect my environment has on my mental state really helped a lot, too
