In fact, when we’re in acluttered environment, we might find it hard to concentrate and work, as worrying about the clutter takes up space in our brains.I have a friend who once told me she couldn’t get any work done if she didn’t first tidy up and clean her room. At the time, we were both writing our Bachelor’s theses, so productivity was a big concern for us both.I didn’t quite understand her at the time, because for me, cleaning before finishing tasks seemed like procrastinating. Only now, almost 10 years later, I finally get it: I, too, can’t work efficiently if my working space resembles a pigsty. It’s just too distracting!

Well, according to the queen of tidying up Marie Kondo herself, it brings well-being to every aspect of our lives. “Organization not only supportsself-care, it is self-care,“she proclaims. Organization, according to her, “keeps us grounded through all of life’s surprises, and it empowers us to live that life fully.”

Still have to finish the top rails, but was deciding on making them cubbies instead, so it could fit a tote or something else like a box.My measurements were a bit off so the middle section (empty one) doesnt have the width for the totes with the support beam in the way, but will convert those to little cubbies.Once the basement is finished we will have it look cleaner with some trim work and such.Just wanted to share :)

Cornetta has a few suggestions about making your everyday routine more clutter-free. For starters, she makes her bed right after waking up.

Once you’re back home from work, there are two things you can implement to have a tidier home. Cornetta takes from five to 10 minutes to load the dishwasher, put away leftovers, take the trash out, wipe surfaces, collect dog toys from the ground, etc.Then, she preps what she can for the next day. That includes choosing an outfit, packing lunch, and even making a to-do list for tomorrow. “When I do, it makes me feel like I’m on top of things and that I care about future me. In other words, it feels a lot like self-care,” she explains.

There are also three things Cornetta does weekly: sort out bills and mail, tidy the kitchen, and do the laundry. If any of these seem like too much of a chore, she recommends giving yourself “a bribe” during or after. For doing the tasks she hates, she sometimes pours herself a glass of wine or picks up a fancy coffee (both “bribes” for the appropriate times of day, of course) to not make it as tedious.
