Get Organized and Stay Clean
Many of us avoid cleaning and organizing our homes because the task is overwhelming. Other responsibilities or activities easily take priority. Maybe we just don’t know where to begin and what to do. When we put things off we sometimes have “I need to clean my house” or “I really wish I could get things organized” in the back of our minds nagging at us. These thoughts make it pretty hard to truly relax and enjoy ourselves. When we feel this way we can be hard on ourselves. No one wants to feel this way.
Everything takes longer in a home that is unorganized and messy. Simple tasks like preparing a meal, folding laundry or tidying a bedroom are all of a sudden impossible to get done and emotionally overwhelming. We are just spinning our wheels. The mess just keeps getting bigger and the time we know it will take to clean up keeps getting longer and longer. One mess rolls into another and before we know it it’s out of control. Again, no one wants to feel this way.
Know this, you are not alone. Do you know anyone that has an endless number of hours on a regular basis to clean and organize? I don’t know anyone like that. Most of us don’t have that kind of time. We are all busy and no one is perfect. We all want to be efficient in how we spend our time. We all want our homes to be functional. However, this looks different for each of us. How we live day to day is unique. I do not believe there is one way to organize but I do believe there are basic fundamentals that apply to all of us.
Initially you will have to take the time to organize each room in your home, “everything in its place”. Then, with a regular cleaning schedule and some good habits that fit your lifestyle, you will develop the skills needed to maintain a well organized space. Are you ready to get it done? If your answer is yes then keep checking back and I will take you through it step by step. We can do it together. That’s what are friends for!
