DAY 5 of NEAT in 10 🕶️📱👛

NEAT in 10: Day 5

Day five out of ten, and last one for the week! Remember, you'll get one short email each weekday for ten weekdays, with a simple task that brings clarity to a small corner of your home. Miss a day? No problem — we've got them all listed and linked at the bottom of the email.

Perforated Basket to help with sorting mail

The entryway catches everything that comes through the door, and without a system, it quickly becomes a cluttered first impression of your home. A functional drop zone saves time every single day and keeps those last-minute "where are my keys" moments to a minimum.

Drop Zone

what you'll need

A trash bag, a bin for items to relocate, trays or baskets for sorting

what to do

1. Clear everything off the surface where items tend to land. Yes, everything.

2. Separate what you've gathered into categories: mail, keys, sunglasses, wallets, lip balm, dog leash, whatever tends to accumulate.

3. Relocate any categories or items that don't actually belong in the entryway. Shoes go to the closet, random toys back to the playroom.

4. Edit out anything that needs to be tossed or donated. Old mail, dried out pens, expired coupons.

5. Create landing zones for each category that stays. In most homes that includes a mail drop and a tray to catch keys, sunglasses, and chapstick.

6. Make it work for you and the needs of your family. If backpacks and lunchboxes live here too, build that into the system.

NEAT Tip: Give everything a place to land and set limits. One tray for mail and one spot for keys. Once they fill up, that's your sign to give them an edit.

Metal Perforated Baskets make it easy to sort mail before it piles up. The removable divider makes it easy to contain two categories in one spot, like "needs attention" and "to file" or "to shred." Drop it on a console table or shelf and give mail a system instead of a stack.

DAY 4 of NEAT in 10 🧦

NEAT in 10: Day 4

Day four of ten! Remember, you'll get one short email each weekday for ten weekdays, with a simple task that brings clarity to a small corner of your home. Miss a day? No problem — we've got them all listed and linked at the bottom of the email.

Mismatched, stretched out, missing a partner for months—socks have a way of taking over. Today's the day to edit ruthlessly and enjoy a drawer that actually closes.

Sock Drawer

what you'll need

A trash bag, a donation bag if socks are still in good condition

what to do

1. Gather all your socks together from every corner of your home. Look in dresser drawers, the laundry basket, the dryer, and that pile on the floor.

2. Sort by type: athletic, dress, casual, no-show, cozy.

3. Edit out any that are well loved (holes, thinning heels), missing a mate, or you simply don't wear. If your sock drawer is bursting at the seams, this is also a good time to edit out any excess.

4. File fold in pairs rather than tucking one sock inside the other. This prevents the elastic from stretching out over time and keeps pairs easy to grab.

NEAT Tip: Tucking one sock into the other stretches the elastic and shortens the life of your socks. File folding keeps pairs together, visible, and in better shape longer.

5. Color code within each category to simplify finding what you need. Dark to light or by color family both work well.

6. Place socks back into the drawer, keeping them grouped by type.
