Although a tidy home can make you feel more productive, finding motivation to actually clean your house can be extremely difficult.

I have to say, warmer weather doesn't make it any easier, I would much rather be at the Jersey Shore on a summer day. But, since the cold weather has us hanging out at home more, NOW is the perfect time to declutter your home and get organized.

A large percentage of people are NOT happy with the current organizational structure of their home, according to a new study on Joybird.com.

So what will get people up and cleaning? COMPANY! Yes, having people over will motivate people to tidy up.
