Sara’s Reviews > The House That Cleans Itself: Creative Solutions for a Clean and Orderly House in Less Time Than You Can Imagine > Status Update

Ok, so have you learned anything useful?

That one was less helpful than some of the other ones I've been reading lately, but she had some good nuggets. Being mindful of what you see when you enter a room can help rooms feel more clean (moving that one cluttered bookshelf so it's not the first thing you see when you walk in, for example). Also identifying the why behind the mess and setting up your home to adapt to whatever the need/behavior is, instead of trying to adapt your behavior to your house. Ex: if you never use the shoe rack by the door, but pile your shoes in the living room, put the shoe rack or just a basket in the living room where the pile is. Mostly common sense, but for the housekeeping impaired like me, it helps to have things like this spelled out XD
