Tidying up for mental health benefits<\/h6>\n<p>\u3000Do you feel discouraged every time you see cluttered clothes, toys, or tools that have been left unused? <br \/>\nMany people are so busy with childcare and work that they do not have time to devote to cleaning up their homes.<br \/>\nAlthough some preparation is required to create a relaxing and restful space for the family, there are so many benefits to creating a system that makes it easy to clean up and spend time in a home that is quickly put away.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000The mental health of the family will be very well maintained because there will be no more irritating moods with partners who don&#8217;t remember where to put things, and no more frustration about things not being tidied up. <br \/>\nAn environment in which both spouses are able to understand where things are, what is missing, and what is wasteful, provides an opportunity to share household chores and reduce the burden on each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000The benefits of organizing and storing are immeasurable, such as avoiding economic loss by eliminating duplicate and wasteful purchases, and having more free time by reducing housework time.<\/p>\n<h5>Let&#8217;s make tidying up a habit by creating a system.<\/h5>\n<p>\u3000It is not a habit to say, &#8220;Okay, I&#8217;m going to clean up today! The goal is to create a storage system that keeps the space clean and tidy through daily habitual tidying.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000Start with &#8220;managing things in place. <br \/>\nIn many cases, the pattern is that only one of the couple knows where everything is, and simply sharing the management of fixed locations with the couple would reduce the burden on the partner.<br \/>\nTo determine the location of objects, grasp the flow line for using the objects and group them.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000For example, where are scissors most often used and where should they be placed along with other stationery? <br \/>\nHow can we minimize the number of actions from using things to putting them away?<\/p>\n<p>\u3000For daily-use items, it would be ideal if &#8220;take out&#8221; and &#8220;put away&#8221; could be done in a single action.<br \/>\nThe answer varies depending on your family and the size of your house. Please find the best for everyone through discussion with your spouse.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000Partners should also share any new storage furniture purchases or changes in storage methods with each other, always reporting back and providing feedback on ease of use.<br \/>\nIt is also important to make it a habit to regularly review the need for the things you have. <br \/>\nIf there are items that have not been used for many years, they can be decluttered and new storage space can be created.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000These discussions cannot take place in a situation where only one person is doing the housework.<br \/>\nI hope that storage will be an opportunity for couples to share household chores and discuss them from the same perspective.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-2-1-500x500.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-2-1-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-2-1-200x200.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-2-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-2-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-2-1-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-2-1-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>Start today, the first step in tidying up.<\/h6>\n<p>\u3000When you think of cleanup as the &#8220;cleanup&#8221; of the consequences of continually leaving a mess, it can be daunting to get started.<br \/>\nTidying up is &#8220;preparation&#8221; for the next use of things. Preparation helps you and your family in the future. <br \/>\nIf you try to imagine yourself and your family in the future as you work on this project, you may be able to clean it up with a positive attitude.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000In addition, tidying up is essentially a simple task that can be done without using one&#8217;s head, by &#8220;putting things back in their designated storage places (for the next time they are used). <br \/>\nThe reason why the tidying up does not continue must be the problem with where and how it is stored. <br \/>\nThe shortcut to making tidying up a habit is to review the storage that makes you want to put things away, such as &#8220;Where should I put it so that I can put it back more easily?<\/p>\n<h5>Let&#8217;s clean up with kids!<\/h5>\n<h6>Learn to see into the future with organization and storage!<\/h6>\n<p>\u3000The purpose of organizing and storing is to prepare for the next action. <br \/>\nBe aware that you are not cleaning up for the sake of cleaning up, but for the purpose of using it next. <br \/>\nWhen teaching children to clean up, I think it is good to tell them that if they clean up well, they will have no trouble the next time they play, and that children will naturally acquire the ability to look into the future through cleaning up.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000Naturally, children cannot learn quickly. <br \/>\nMy oldest child is now 5 years old and still has difficulty cleaning up spontaneously. <br \/>\nStill, I have the impression that they are gradually coming to understand the benefits of tidying up.<br \/>\nNow that he is able to clean up after himself, he is less likely to tell me when he can&#8217;t find things these days.<br \/>\nHe seems to have gained a little self-discipline.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000Also, when children are playing with their toys, create a time and timing to put the toys away and reset the play space.<br \/>\nWe tell them that in order to play spontaneously in a limited space, they need to reserve space, and that if they take out toys incessantly, it will be difficult to play with the next toy and a hassle to clean up afterwards in our home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

how to put things away, so parents should discuss together with their children how to put things away successfully, and parents should prepare a storage method that is easy for their children to put away.<br \/>\nI have a large box with no lid so that the child can throw it in there to put it away.<br \/>\nWe have structured the system so that there are few actions to put it away, and even children can easily put it away.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-3-2-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"

storage space.<br \/>\nPut them in baskets, put them on shelves, etc.<br \/>\nIf toys are toys that you enjoy the appearance of, hanging them on the wall is also a good storage option because children will enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/31-1-3-3-500x786.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"786\" class=\"aligncenter size-large
