Get a calming one on if you do this at night before your night routine or before going to sleep . Then you clean the surfaces, put away your things and tidy up your place. Believe me, putting away clutter before going to sleep helps your mind to rest too. Also in Fabulous can add your tidy up habit in your night routine.

For new items create a new home early after purchase. Create a basket for keys and other regular use daily items near door. If you have the space keep everything in cupboards rather than bench tops unless it\u2019s used multiple times a day.
