Clutter piles up quickly when you bounce from room to room in your house. Objects end up in odd places and stay there for no good reason. Unclutterer’s solution is to make it a rule to always take something with you when you leave a room.

The idea is that when you walk out of a room with one item that doesn’t belong in that room, you’re essentially keeping the area clean without really working at it. Unclutterer explains:
A fairly easy way to maintain an area is to leave it better than how you found it. Before leaving a room, take something with you that doesn’t belong (like glasses from the coffee table to the kitchen, mail on the kitchen counter to the mail processing station). These small steps can go a very long way to helping you keep things looking and feeling the way you want them to.
It seems a little simplistic, but over time your house will stay organised. Head over to Unclutterer for a few more tips to keep yourself organised without exerting a lot of extra effort.
