How to reduce flat-surface clutter

by | Oct 26, 2017 | Features

Many people struggle with how to maintain their household clutter. Clutter can be caused by dropping items down as soon as you arrive home after a busy day, or leaving things around to serve as a reminder to get a task done, but the best way to counter these things are to consolidate. Make sure each object has a place it belongs, and it will vastly reduce the amount of junk laying around.

Key Takeaways:

  • If you must keep items out because of convenience, ease or some other reason, consider creating a dropbox — a small container meant to be a temporary holding bin for stuff — but I recommend you do so with caution.
  • I would wager that much of the stuff that ends up tossed onto any surface doesn’t have a designated “home,” or consistent landing area.
  • The next time you find yourself dropping items here and there, stop and ask yourself why.
