How can setting a simple “10-minute evening tidy” habit keep the living room under control?

Living rooms collect the day—cups, remote, cushions, chargers, newspapers, kids’ toys. If you leave everything as-is, the mess multiplies daily and the weekend cleanup feels like a mountain.

A 10-minute tidy as part of your evening routine—put cushions back, clear centre table, return stray items to their rooms, stack remotes—keeps things at a manageable level. It doesn’t have to be perfect; just reset the basics.

Next morning, you walk into a calmer space instead of yesterday’s chaos, and you never hit that point where you feel, “Ab toh full deep clean hi karni padegi.”
