My Mom Uses This Cleaning Rule in Every Room, and Now I'm Adopting It
Briefly

"As I encountered yet another pile of clothes in the downstairs bathroom that one of the kids walked away from, I had a little epiphany. My mom always told us to 'leave a room better than we found it,' and I thought about how I could get my kids to follow this rule."
"It's the non-chore-related habits that make the biggest difference in the general condition of our home... This simple habit of looking back before leaving a room to see what mess they made and picking up after themselves is an incredibly hard habit to instill."
"With five kids, staying on top of responsibilities, like schedules and appointments, and maintaining a clean house takes a lot of time and energy. But keeping a tidy home is essential to our peace as a family."
"We do Power 10s to clean up nightly... However, it’s items like the dirty clothes left in the bathroom or the dishes piled up after one of the kids makes a snack that accumulate and make the whole place feel messy and stressful."
