Within Minutes

Yesterday, I started off with cleaning my nightstand. My nightstand is supposedly next to my bed according to Feng Shui and interior designers but my room has limited space so instead of next to it, it's in front of the bed.

As you can see the first picture is a little bit messy. Sometimes when I pick things out of the glass I am to busy or rushed to put it back. There are also things that doesn't belong here just like my aloe vera heat massage lotion or my vitamin E creme which I use as a night cream.

To know that everything has it's own 'home' I had this cleaned up within 3 minutes. I got almost everything off the stand and used a duster to collect the dust and placed all the items back in place dust free.

Now there are just 7 items sitting on the nightstand. I don't think I want to increase that number. But there is a change that I will switch out my body lotion with my night cream.

But for now I am happy how it looks and even after a night sleep it looks just the same. This is basically one of the reason why I started with minimalism. Having the place neat within minutes.
