Going ‘shopping’ with your friends as an activity is probably not the best idea to keep the clutter at bay, but sometimes venturing out and buying these necessary things cannot be entirely avoided. The consumables we need to run our daily lives need to arrive in our household in some way or fashion, and usually doing this kind of shopping personally is the most straightforward way to get it done with the least amount of fuss.

A large part of keeping your home organised is based on consistency in your daily routine. I’m certainly not saying that you have to turn into a robot doing everything the same way, every day. But to be fair, it’s likely that you are already doing that. I invite you to look closely how you start your day and you’ll probably find that 90% of what you do follows a very specific pattern already.
