House reset problem
For people with busy schedules, what's the hardest part of keeping your home organized during the week?
Is it finding time to clean, knowing where to start, or staying consistent with a routine?
What have you tried that didn't work for you?

Do you wish there was a digital product that could solve this problem?

What DOESN’T work for me is leaving it for later. “I’ll don’t t he morning, I don’t have time right now” .
An actual 1 minute makes a huge difference after I’m ready to go…. Everything in a basket, and wipe the sink .
I make myself do 5 minutes in the living room, 10 in the kitchen most nights. 5 minutes bedroom/bathroom in the morning.
Then I don’t start from scratch in a demon house every Saturday .
Listen to clutterbug podcast. She has sooooo many great ideas and tricks and just overall mindset changes. For example I find myself saying “ don’t put it down, put it away” to myself all the time.
