Create a System
A system is basically anything that happens regularly – laundry, groceries, emails, errands, tasks, etc. By organizing these systems, you will realize the amount of time you save by structuring it carefully.
Let’s take a look at a well-organized laundry system. Instead of piling your used clean clothes on a chair, immediately hang it up or fold it into a designated basket. This will help you keep track of the clothes you have. Rather than leaving your dirty clothes on the ground, have 3 separate laundry bins (one each for dark, colored, and white clothes respectively). When one bin is full, you can then wash, dry, fold, and keep that set of clothes. Alternatively, you could designate one day a week as Laundry Day to get it all out.
The same idea can be applied to other aspects of your daily routine. Whether it’s a day for running errands or organizing your work emails, streamlining your systems is a great way todeclutter your life.

Go Paperless
Any form of paper can contribute to clutter. Magazines, newspapers, bills, letters, junk mail – physically receiving it will increase the probability of it turning into a mess. Make it a point to throw away junk mail once you receive it. Once you’re done with a magazine or newspaper, immediately recycle it. Basically, the rule is to immediately dispose or recycle paper that is of no use.
A better option would be for you to go digital. Subscribe to online news and magazine portals as it is cleaner and provides easier access when you’re always on the go. You could also automate most things such as bills and appointments. Instead of receiving bills physically, choose to receive and pay electronically. Use an online calendar with a reminder that you can access through all your devices to make it easier for you. The less paper you have to deal with, the more efficient your lifestyle can be.
