No matter how much you tidy up your home, the mess always comes back and the mental burden with it? With this simple organization method, you will learn to lighten your mind as well as your home.
Objects piling up, laundry lying around, the pile of dishes in the sink, the overflowing trash can, are all unpleasant surprises that await us at home after an already busy day. But before throwing in the towel (or grabbing it!), know that disorder is not inevitable and can be tamed thanks to a method capable of transforming your daily life. If you find that your home is cluttered, it is high time to act, because a tidy interior is essential to your daily well-being. Think you’ve tried everything? This is without counting on this method which has proven itself.
The OHIO method is a very simple storage solution, whose acronym means “Only Handle It Once“, which translates to “we only take care of it once“. This effective approach is based on concentrating on a single task, in order to prevent the mind from getting scattered. In other words, this method of tidying up takes up the fundamental principle of not putting off until tomorrow what we can do the same day.
If, for example, your washing machine is finished, hang out your laundry without further delay instead of putting it off until later with wrinkled and damp-smelling clothes arriving, which will give you a hard time in terms of ironing. After cooking, tidy up and clean your work surface and your utensils so that you don’t have to do it after the meal when you already have to clear the table and do the dishes. The same goes for immediately processing your mail, emails or voice messages as soon as you become aware of them.
Why adopt it? As trivial as they may be, small everyday gestures are the key to a solid organization and become reflexes over time. This is why it is recommended to adopt the OHIO storage method in order to find serenity in your home and lighten your mental load. Because even if the houses live, it is essential to be able to navigate them by adopting this time-saving routine.
