Some Tips For You

If you are like me and spew clutter everywhere you go, you probably need these tips. But even though I swear up and down that I think better when there is chaos around me, a messy house can hinder me from being productive. It causes stress in the household and is a constant source of embarrassment.

If you want to have a clean home, but don’t seem to have enough time to do it, check out these tips for staying on track with cleaning your house that I got from a friend whose home is always clean.

First, write out a schedule. One of the only ways to stay on track with cleaning your house is to write out a schedule.

Second, spend time each day cleaning. Spend time each and every day cleaning something in your home. It doesn’t have to be a long period of time, but something that needs to be done every day so you can stay on track.

Next, set a timer to clean in 15 minute segments. If you can’t get motivated to clean your home, then make sure you set a timer to clean it in 15 minute segments. It’s amazing what you can get done in that short period of time. Reward yourself with a piece of chocolate or a cookie, and go back at it.

Understand that not everything will be perfect. Your house is never going to be perfect. Kids will mess it up and your spouse won’t always put everything back. Keep this in mind as you try to stay on track with your house cleaning.

Keep the counters as clear as possible. Keep things simple by putting away things that are on your counters. Simple actions like putting your shoes back on the shoe rack, make your house seem tidy and uncluttered. Similarly to that, leaving things off the counter is a similar concept.

So, if you want to have a clean home, but don’t seem to have enough time to do it, try out these tips for staying on track with cleaning your house. BTW, I got these tips from a friend who’s house is always clean. ;)
