- Two Box Trick:
Clutter, it’s everywhere! Right? Every time you pick up the house, it always seems to come back and seems to come out of nowhere.
After running around all day caring for the kiddos, it’s easy to understand why it’s hard to put things away.
But one mom had a trick that worked for her, and it’s simple. And the best part is, you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on organizational bins, you just need two boxes.
Parents reported on the two box trick:
“A mom of two girls, ages 3 and 9, from Parlin, New Jersey. An organizer who calls herself a “Simplicity Expert®,” Tracy creates systems that clients can keep up after she’s gone.
I recommend that my clients use something I call “up-down” baskets.
I have a basket at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom. Throughout the day, if I find something that belongs upstairs while I am downstairs, I toss it into the basket. At the end of the day, as the kids are brushing their teeth, I empty the baskets, and it’s done.”
