If you want to create new no-clutter habits, it is usually the easiest to start to deal with your property in places that you do not share with all family members. Personally, I live with some amazing but dirty people, so if you are in the same position, I recommend you to start with your bedroom and bathroom.
Duhig says how long it takes to create a new habit, there is no exact deadline, but other researchers said that it takes 21 to 66 days or more. Personally, I needed a habit of 21 to 45 days of habit to create a new habit, which depends on what the routine was. After that, the behavior became automatic.
1. Make your bed. No matter how wrong the bedroom is, A made bed It creates a neater. To make a bed to make a cue, do something without failing every day, such as closing your alarm. It is best to treat new as soon as possible after a reminder. (I sometimes get distracted if I do not make my bed right after my Q, and then the bed can remain unmaden all day.)
After creating a bed – or, for that case, when you do a new task, you are trying to make it habitually – be sure to reward yourself. Your reward is a silent “good job!” As can be simple as you tell yourself or as a ritual as your morning cup coffee and then enjoy repaying it. Just remember to give yourself a compliment or perk to work towards the goal of your well-organized home.
