Cleaning and Caring for your home - 4 Strategies


In the last week of December, I have embarked on a journey to live cleanly and tidy. For many of us, cleaning is something we keep postponing. We would like to deal with it only when it looks ugly and unappealing. There can be countless reasons for postponing these mundane activities. Some people are busy and naturally postpone them to the last minute. While others are not very interested in cleaning at all. Whatever the reason may be today, I will teach you a secret trick on how to keep going, maintain your home tidy and clean all the time. Well, may not be all the time but at least when you see there is the need.

In order to achieve some tasks, one of the crude and effective ways is making a list of things you want to do. It may sound peculiar, why should we even invest time in the list-making. However, it is the most effective method among the ones I have tried. When I made a list of those activities of house cleaning and allocated approximate time for each one. I found that it is necessary to get started. The more you delay, the more the work piles up was the strategy behind getting into the work.


Next, the approach is to divide and rule. Yes, start with some of the easy activities and mark them completed in your list. Spare some time for these activities each day. I enjoyed doing exercise regularly but I would get tired when I had to do exercise along with the cleaning. So, I decided on the days when I do house cleaning. I will cut down on exercise and focus on cleaning my house.


Four important Strategies Summarized:

  1. Make a list of tasks for cleaning

  2. Divide and Concur your tasks

  3. Cut down exercises and focus on cleaning

  4. Regularly Inspect your home cleanliness

Finally, Ensure you have a tracking history or frequency counter. For instance, you can simply have Dec 2020 completed checkmark. Likewise, you can keep adding more cells for frequency. You may need to keep investigating throughout your week on the cleanliness of those tasks. If something needs attention, then you need to spare some time during the weekend for cleaning those. So, this inspection helps us to prevent cleanliness out-of-your hands. It will also focus on investing less time in tidying up your home. Otherwise, you may need to invest a few hours each day about a week depending on your home size in order to tidy up. That's why the last step is very critical and important.
