7 Rewarding Organization Hacks Mum Approves
To the one who keeps the home organized and comfortable, the one knows us best, the one who only wants the best for us, Happy Mother's Day to all Mums and Mother Figures!
To honour their endless hard work and love, here are 7 Rewarding Organization Secrets that are mum-approved to help you organize your home.
1. FOLLOW THROUGH A TO-DO LIST
Whether you're working or a stay-at-home mum, home organization can be overwhelming if you don't know exactly where to start! Give yourself 5-10 minutes to pin down all the areas you'd like to tackle and break them down into a simple day-to-day schedule or a to-do list that helps you tidy up in manageable parts.
Enjoy the flexibility to make progress with the time that you have (especially if you have kids)!
2. HAVE A CHORE-BUSTING SESSION
Organizing don't have to be dreadful. Turn the chore into splendour by streaming your favourite playlists, with your favourite people for an hour of your day to get as much tidying up done as you can -- the enjoyable way!
A fun chore-busting session turned into a friendly competition with family, roommates or even your children will nonetheless be productive and fulfilling.
3. PUT IT AWAY, RIGHT AWAY
We get it, sometimes it's easier to put things down and save the tidying up for later but that is exactly why clutter piles up.
Instead of sparing just a few minutes more putting things away, you may have to spend an entire day organizing when this happens. So, when mum tells you to pack it away, do it right away!
4. INVEST IN PRACTICAL STORAGE

Getting your children involved when you tidy up helps them to learn the importance of it from a young age. It not only teaches them to know exactly where they can find or put away their things, it's also proven to be fantastic for children's cognitive development!
6. PURGE & DONATE EVERY YEAR
As we grow, we should consciously make way for things that we actually want to keep close to our hearts and let go of anything that don't serve us anymore.
Keep track of everything you outgrew every year by taking a trip down memory lane of all the things you have at home with your loved ones and see what you can purge or donate to those in need. This way, you are also helping others out while organizing your home. Win-win!
7. REWARD YOURSELF
Where there is hard work, there are rewards (in all forms)! Mothers will agree that organizing your home brings so much satisfaction mentally and visually. Give yourself a pat on the back, a cup of tea and enjoy your peace in the organized home you've just created. It's finally time to sit back and relax!
