So What Can You Learn From The Hurds’ Rude Awakening?
1. Cleaning & Organizing Is A Lifestyle Change.
As Eric notes in the clip above, cleaning isn’t just a one-two-done procedure, it’s something that needs to be done little by little every day in order to keep chaos from taking over once again,
2. Get The Kids Involved!
Not only does this make any clean-up go faster (always a plus!), it instills a healthy habit early, teaches children to respect their surroundings, and can even given them a sense of satisfaction at a job well done (just look at the pride the Hurds’ daughter has in the video!)

3. Tackle Problem Areas One By One.
Pick a problem spot, say, your closet, your desk, a messy countertop, and ruthlessly organize, clean, and clear it until everything’s in it’s proper place. Once you see one area looking sharp in a way you appreciate, it’ll be that much easier to move onto the next.
