A small evening reset

Choose a single area

Clear the place where you eat breakfast, work or collect your things before leaving. Return the items that already have a home. Put anything undecided together temporarily, rather than wandering around the entire house trying to solve every storage problem.

Stop when the next step is easier

The point is not to finish all the housework at night. If you can sit down, find your keys or open your notebook without moving a pile, the reset has done its job. Leave a larger task for a time when you can give it proper attention.
