Do you have a table in your home that stays cluttered, it’s just the catch all for everything? This was my dining room table, and I don’t have a kitchen table. There were many nights I would have to spend 10 minutes putting stuff away before we could eat, or everything just shifted from the table to the counters until after dinner. Well not anymore. I read this tip, and it was so simple I felt I had to try it.
Keep your table set all the time. When it looks nice it deters junk and clutter. Bonus is it encourages you to actually eat at the table. Now I have a clutter free table. And it looks beautiful. For me, this was so important especially because when you walk in my front door you are looking straight into the dining room. Now you see a beautifully set table! This is an inexpensive way for you to bring added decoration to your room, and remove the clutter.The first few nights I was establishing this habit, I would bark at my husband, “Don’t you put anything on my nice table, go put that where it goes.” It only took a few times for everyone to get what I was doing. Now I love my table, and we all love sitting at it for dinner. So try it! I think you will be amazed at how easy it is, and how much clutter you can alleviate.
