This next tip is for folks who like to spend some time getting ready every morning and go through their skincare, makeup, and hair routines. Cornetta likes to put all of her products away once she's done with them. It only takes one or two minutes but can make a huge difference in how your bathroom sink looks.

Once you're back home from work, there are two things you can implement to have a tidier home. Cornetta takes from five to 10 minutes to load the dishwasher, put away leftovers, take the trash out, wipe surfaces, collect dog toys from the ground, etc.
Then, she preps what she can for the next day. That includes choosing an outfit, packing lunch, and even making a to-do list for tomorrow. "When I do, it makes me feel like I'm on top of things and that I care about future me. In other words, it feels a lot like self-care," she explains.
There are also three things Cornetta does weekly: sort out bills and mail, tidy the kitchen, and do the laundry. If any of these seem like too much of a chore, she recommends giving yourself "a bribe" during or after. For doing the tasks she hates, she sometimes pours herself a glass of wine or picks up a fancy coffee (both "bribes" for the appropriate times of day, of course) to not make it as tedious.
"Remember, self-care isn't always glamorous. Usually, it's doing the dirty work that results in a healthier, better version of yourself," she concludes. If you've been inspired to get up and get some organization done, great, our dear Pandas!
