Do you need to build a system of habits?Maintaining an organized home can feel like an unattainable dream. The demands of the family members can lead to avoidable stressful conditions. The premise of this newsletter lies in the universal struggle to balance the demands of life and create a harmonious living space.

Each of the habits help in organising your life, while teaching the children to be responsible member so the family. 1. Clutter-Free Zones: Develop the habit of keeping the things back in the allotted spaces. This reduces the stress of searching for things. Put the shoes back in the shoe rack, the used clothes in the laundry basket, the jackets in the cupboard. 2. Daily Rituals: Prepare a schedule for yourself so that you know what to do next instead of wasting your time. Allot time for studies, play, family and relaxing. Follow this schedule and develop consistent routines. 3. Mindful Decluttering: If you haven’t used something for a considerable time, it’s time to let it go. Declutter your cupboards and shelves. Discard old games, books, toys, shoes, whatever you’re not going to use again. Regular decluttering makes more space for new things. 4. Digital Organization: Control your gadget time. Set the timer before you begin using the tablet or TV or any other gadget, so you know when to stop. Have ‘no-gadget’ time slots. Like during mealtime or family time. 5. Family Coordination: Share your chores at home so each member contributes to the smooth functioning of the house. Doing chores is an essential habit and must be practiced diligently.
