6 trucos para mantener tu casa ordenada

0:10 Hello everyone and welcome to ideas for a better life. I am Eugenio Paya Ruiz, a stubborn technologist and lover of personal development. Today I want to share with you six simple tricks to keep your house tidy. Before you start, remind you, as always, that you have at your disposal a compilation of the most relevant ideas and advice on personal development in my four books. Also that if you want to train in personal development in depth I tell you what has worked for me, which is the personal development master' s degree online from IPP You know the best training that exists in this field.

I leave you the link to my books, the Mastre class of the personal development master and Libook Free in the episode notes and now we' re going to talk about keeping your house tidy. Disorder is an accumulation of decisions we don' t make, and those decisions we don ' t make end up piled up on top of other papers books food,

1:49 medicines, toys, clothes. The list of things that end up messy, that end up placed in any way anywhere is endless. And that' s not the problem. The problem is that this disorder costs us time, costs us money, costs us space and even costs us our health. If you want to fix this, if you want to get your house in order, you have to change your mind first. As we have seen in other episodes, our brain is an adaptable tool. When we learn something, we create new neural pathways, we can reprogram our brain. So, it' s a process that you know we know as neuroplasticity. Therefore, everyone can develop better habits. Everyone can learn to better organize their things. It is not worth the typical excuse of saying that you are like this, disorganized or that you are your own system of order, that in your chaos there is an order, etcetera. You' re not like that, you' re not messy. You just didn' t want to make the effort to change your thinking. The first thing you have to do is set targets. You need to know what you want to get with that order. Maybe you want to order your house so you can receive more guests or maybe. You just have

3:24 too much clothes in the closet and you want to get rid of it or maybe, you need a system that allows you to better manage all the paperwork, mail, papers, etcetera. Whatever it is. You need to know what your goals are. You have to know why you want an order at home and when you have those goals, you have to set a date and you have to make sure those goals are clear, specific, measurable and realistic. I repeat, because clear, specific objectives are important. One goal wouldn ' t be to sort the house that' s not specific, that' s not clear. They have to be measurable and they have to be realistic to and put them in writing. Studies show that it' s 40 percent more likely to get you to achieve your goals. If you put them in writing. The good thing about setting goals you already know is that you save time, because you have your goals clear and because you can prioritize what you do every day. It' s easier to say no to other things when you have goals. The second thing is to create a vision for every space in your house. Every space in your house should have a purpose. Imagine what you want each space to bring, what its functions are, who will

4:56 use it and, consequently, how you need to take advantage of that space, what furniture you need to put in that space. For example, make sure that there are no work- related objects in your bedroom, no papers, no laptops, because the purpose of the bedroom is for you to rest, it' s for you to relax, and obviously, this is changing. You' re not always going to be right about the purpose of space to the first one, you might have to change some things over time and absolutely nothing happens. If every space in your house has a purpose, you ' re going to save time because you know where everything is. You will also save money, because when you go to buy furniture, you will have the specific purpose of that space in your head. The third thing you can do is sort the objects in each of the spaces by functions, that is, that objects that have the same function or a similar function, are saved in the same place. Keep it together. And this can be as simple as putting pans with pans, for example, or t- shirts with t - shirts. This allows you to see how many things you have to do the same function and when you have that information, you start making better decisions about what you really need. Think about how many short- sleeved shirts you

6:28 really need. You need forty, probably not, if you group the objects together because of their function, you save money because you don' t buy extra things and save, especially energy, because you won' t have to go looking all over the house where what you need is. The fourth thing is to decide what is left and what is left. There may be many reasons for wanting to keep something. It may be their sentimental value, for example, but there are times when it is obvious that we have to get rid of certain things. We have to throw away everything that' s broken, everything that' s expired, and we should donate everything we have repeated or everything we don' t need. Don' t keep things just because they' ve given them to you or because you' ve inherited them.

7:24 Even those reasons are not enough to keep one thing. Make sure that all the objects you keep in your house fit the vision you have of each of the spaces. If you get rid of things you don' t need in the long run, you' re saving energy, because you already know that physical disorder generates mental disorder. And obviously, also if you get rid of things, what you' re going to save is space. The fifth thing would be to give each thing a place, that each thing has its space and that all that, all things are returned to that space after they are used. So, it' s impossible for something to get lost to try it and you' ll see how easy it is if you always lose your keys, set a point in your house where those keys should be and concentrate in the next two weeks until you generate the habit. Concentrate on always putting them in that same place And I tell you the same thing with sunglasses or with any other object that is often lost to us. Also think about how often you use that object, the things you use most often you have to have in easily accessible places. Things you use less often, for example, Christmas ornaments, you can keep us in places that are harder to reach.

9:00 If every object has its place. What you' re doing is, on the one hand, saving money because you won' t have to go back to buying things you don' t find and, on the other hand, you' ll save energy because you' re not going to run out looking for the things you never find. And the sixth and final recommendation is to know, to finish the tasks. Unfinished tasks distract us from creating mental disorder. Think, for example, when you get a bill. That task of paying the bill isn' t complete until you' ve paid it and filed it. If you leave it out there without paying, then that bill is going to become messy. It' s going to mix with other bills, with other papers. You don' t know what you paid and what you didn' t, etcetera. So, if you immediately pay an invoice for the marks as paid and file it, you save time and save yourself money.

10:03 And the same thing happens with shopping bags, for example, you unshape the bags after you make the purchase, save it all immediately. Or if you buy new clothes, finish the task of buying new clothes by saving what you bought and, perhaps, throwing away what you don' t need, because it is being replaced by new clothes. Or when you finish dinner or eat wash the dishes and so on. It is about finishing tasks to prevent the disorder from accumulating. Knowing, finishing homework on time is going to save you time, obviously, it' s going to save you money and, above all, it' s going to save you mental energy. So you know that. If you want to have a house and, therefore, a more orderly life, set goals, create a vision or a purpose for each space, classify the objects in each of the spaces according to their function, decide that they should stay and that they should leave give a place to each thing and learn to finish your tasks. If you follow these principles so simple, so easy, you' re going to save space, you' re going to save time, you' re going to save money and above all you' re going to save energy.
