What do do to keep tidy when you’re strapped for time?

Do a little cleaning in smaller time spaces. For example, wash your dishes right after you finished eating. Get into a habit where you have to grab something before you leave the room, like, take that empty cup when you're passing the kitchen and wash it quickly. Bring those clothes from the living room to your bedroom when you're heading there. Take that towel from your room when you're going to the bathroom.
Doing these little things will help you to stay organised and not gonna make a bigger mess in your home at whole.
