5 Amazing Tips To A Clutter-Free Home
Having a clutter free home is a very real possibility -- all you need is little commitment to some basic principles, habits and tips that will help you stay organized.
1. Purge the unnecessary things
Untidiness begins to appear most prominently when we own too many things. The fewer items we own, the easier it is to keep clutter at a minimum and our space tidy. In your process of removing the excess, you should come up with a working definition of clutter. Define what clutter means to you; too much stuff in too small a space, anything that you no longer use or love or anything that leads to a feeling of disorganization. With that as your guiding filter, the rest is easier.
2. Slow down
Once you shed the excesses, be slow to accumulating others. Before making a purchase, ask yourself these questions:
• Do I need it?
• Is there space for this in my house?
• Am I buying it for the right or wrong reasons?
3. Keep “friends” together
When things are not organized according to their type, it’s easy to keep living in a cluttered space. You don’t want to be searching for a piece of socks or tie where you have your suits neatly hung. This may cause you to scatter everything in an attempt to get the handkerchief out.
How To Get A Great Butt Without Doing A Single Squat
This routine targets the three major muscles in your glutes and avoids putting force on your knees the way squats can, says Bradley Seidenglanz, an instructor at Barry’s Bootcamp in Sherman Oaks and Hollywood, California, who created the workout.
Do 5 sets of 15 reps for each move. For those that involve moving one leg at a time, do 15 reps on one leg, then 15 on the other—that’s one set. Repeat until you’ve done 5 sets. For full instructions, click here.

7 Secrets Of People Who Are Always On Time
Looking to kick your lateness habit? We talked to some expeditious people to find out how they make punctuality look so easy.
1. Be realistic.
It all starts when you begin making plans. If you’re a night owl scheduling an early breakfast, will you really make it there by 8 a.m.? Set yourself up for success, because being honest about your habits and adjusting accordingly is far better than running late once those plans arrive.
2. Prep ahead.
If you’re struggling to be prompt first thing in the morning, set everything out before you head to bed before. Picking out your clothes, packing your bag or prepping your lunch actually takes more time than you might think, and those few minutes are precious when you’re rushing to get ready and out the door.
3. Plan for the unexpected.
Sure, you know it should take 30 minutes to get to work. But that’s from the moment you actually hit the road ― not from the couch, shoeless, without your keys in sight. It’s not accounting for external factors like elevator wait time, accurate traffic or a low tank of gas. Always assume there will be delays. Cushion your travel time ― we recommend anywhere from five to 30 minutes.
4. Make your calendar and Google Maps your best friends.
Fill your calendar with every appointment you have and set alerts to remind you an hour before it’s time to leave. Then make the calendar the first thing you read when you wake up. Also be sure to allow ample time between events. If you have a meeting that should run until 12 p.m., don’t aim to have lunch with a friend at noon.
This Is How Long It Takes To Ride To Every NYC Subway Stop
The New York City subway has 21 routes that span more than 660 miles of total mainline track. And Matthew Ahn has ridden every single one of them, in what likely counts as record time.
Over the weekend, the 25-year-old lawyer rode to every single one of NYC’s 469 subway stops in just 21 hours, 49 minutes and 39 seconds in an attempt to retain his Guinness World Records title.
Ahn plotted his route on spreadsheets and began around 2 a.m. on Friday and finished at 11:28 p.m., with Diet Coke, Cliff bars and water as his only fuel. We can only imagine what the day was like...
Ahn previously set the world record for fastest time traveling to all NYC subway stops last year. But with the addition of the new 34th Street-Hudson Yards stop this year, he had to ride again to reestablish his title.
