Like many of us we are a busy family - full time work, regular extra curricular activities and plus I am studying part time and regularly travel for work.
The house is clean but has become unorganised as has most other things in general and I’d like to get some organisation back and become more streamline day to day.
Hoping that people can share their organisational tips and tricks with me please. Things you have around the house that help or routines you have in place.

My eufy hoover has been a game changer for keeping on top of the dog hair everywhere

I'm hopeless, completely hopeless at keeping on top of housework. I just cannot do it.

I have an app, called 'Tody' I'm using the free version, there's a paid for one with more features but this one does everything I need.

It's the only thing that even slightly helps me. You set up each room / whatever you want to split your tasks by and set up each repeating task you want to do and how often. When it's due and you do it, you tick it off and it starts counting down till next time again.

You can either look at your 'kitchen' to do list, or (if you manage to get on top of it!) you can look at all your due tasks in one list.

You can set up tasks that are seasonal, like pruning a tree or something.

I've even set up a 'room' for personal stuff to remind me to dye my hair!! 😂
