Not that we have to remind you, but life as we know it is on hold. No more dates, shopping, working out at the gym, or anything in a public setting. Which also means it's getting increasingly harder to put off that pile of laundry, the messy pantry or the bathroom scrubdown.

If there's a lot to do, don't be overwhelmed. The goal is to make the space a less stressful one. In fact, cleaning in and of itself helps reduce your anxiety and manage your stress (and it's safe to say, we're all stressed).

Here are some tips from The Container Store to tackle the to-do list:

Now that you're on a roll, it's all about the little things and finishing touches that maximize your storage, accessibility, and organization. Good Housekeeping suggests things like towel racks in linen closets, drawer organizers, and hanging your pots and pans.

HGTV also has tips, like organizing your closet by occasion and using doors for added space. Small boxes to sort your shelf items can make it less daunting to look for what you need (like in medicine cabinets or bathroom closets). Also, get the kids involved in the cleaning! Make it a race to see who can pick up the most items.

Happy cleaning, and make sure to take adequate breaks and go outside if the weather permits. You'll feel amazing coming back to a tidy space.
