There are countless ways to tidy up your home and one of them may be perfect for you. One of the most famous worldwide, the personal organizer method Marie Kondoproposes that you embrace the items you own and answer the question “does this item bring me happiness?”.
If the answer is no, it’s time to let go. And, yes, you need to embrace shoes, toolboxes and everything else you find out there. (It sounds strange, but it’s worth the exercise!)
The school A casa com vida, from the trio Micaela Góes, Ivana Portella e Stella Rangel, encourages the creation of a calendar with domestic activities to be carried out: daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly. This way, you don’t forget any tasks and keep the house always clean.

2. “Set an address for each item”
The phrase above is a mantra for the personal organizer Cora Fernandes. The expert explains that when an item has a defined corner in the house, it is easier for whoever removed it from the location to return it when it is finished using it.
But before accumulating everything on a shelf or drawer, remember that this address must suit the use of the piece. For example: if you use scissors in the kitchen, there is no point storing them in the pantry drawer. And if you use it constantly, always leave it visible.

The organization of the house must respect the daily lives of the residents. This means that each room must be adapted to the needs and desires of those who use it most.
For example: check that the most used items in that space are within reach of the resident or employee who spends the most time there. Or if the person using the office prefers items on display or stored in drawers.

Idealizing the organization is not a simple task. Luma Costa, actress and founder of Casa Costa, knows this well. She says that, in her home, the organization started from a simple rule: that the environment was always very clean and that everything had its place.
