Thanks for your comment on my desk organising post. Today I took that a little further and posted on notebooks!

Like Renia, I’m a stay at home mom, so my “office” is my kitchen. I try to have a clean sink and island before I go to bed every night. It’s much nicer to wake up to.

I am a stay-at-home- mother and clearing my desk for me means the kitchen is tidy before I go to bed and the living room (all toys put away by the kids before bedtime).

Makes it a lot less depressing to get up at 7am every morning to make lunches when two main areas of the house are tidy

Gah… have things really gotten so bad that at first glance I thought you were talking about clearing your desk in case you got laid off so it’d be easy to recover your stuff? When did I become so pessimistic?!

But yes, it is a good rule of thumb. I work from home and try to always have the coffee table cleared off before going to bed. It feels so nice to go to work and not have to fight the clutter. I find that my mood is so much better, too.

I’m trying to pick up around the house every night (as well as throughout the day). Now that my husband and I have minimized things a bit, it’s much easier and quicker. I don’t get it all done all the time, especially when it comes to dishes, but it’s still a vast improvement over how things used to be.
