Getting organized is one thing—staying organized is the real game.

You’ve built a system that works (yay, clarity!). Life will happen, things will drift, and that’s normal. The key is creating small habits that snap your space back into place.

5 Habits That Keep Your Space Tidy

1) Snapshot Standard
Take a photo when the space looks perfect. Pin it inside the closet—it becomes your quick visual guide for “what goes where.”

2) Weekly Reset
Choose one day (Sunday evenings work great) to:
• put everything away
• fold/hang
• wipe surfaces
• empty the hamper

3) Nightly 10-Minute Tidy
Set a timer and race the clock. You’ll wake up to calm—and it gets your body moving after dinner.

4) Smart Buying Rules
• Love it or leave it
• One-in/one-out (especially shoes + tees)
• Essentials only if they actually fill a gap
• New items must work with 3+ things you own

5) Purge on a Schedule
Every 6–12 months, ask:
• Have I worn this in the last year?
• Will I wear it in the next two weeks?
If not → donate, sell, or recycle.

Closet-Specific Boosts

• Matching hangers + labeled bins = instant calm

• Keep a “donate” bag handy—add items as you notice them

• Light walls or shelf liners brighten the space and make upkeep easier
