Trying to relax after a horrible work day is something most of us want to do – who doesn’t value some alone time at home while trying to unwind?
However, it’s difficult to unwind if your home is in a messy state. But it’s no joke keeping a house clean at all times – in fact, this could even stress us out all the more thinking of all that has to be done.
If you wish to minimize the stress big-time while at home, here are some tips to stay organized.
Clean Your Home By Specific Areas
If you have a long list of chores to do, try separating the chores and classifying them by room as to where you need the specific chores to be done. All it takes is a few minutes to get a pen and paper, and create a map, or list of the areas in your home, and how you want them to be cleaned. Avoid dwelling too long on cleaning one specific area. If you really want to get organized, each room or area should have a master list clipped somewhere. It’s a great feeling knowing that you can finish the items on your lists. If you can, have your spouse or your kids help out in the housework.
Maintaining The Cleanliness Of Your Sink
Having a sink that is clean and shiny can make anyone feel good about themselves. It’s true, it’s true. The potential rewards are great. Nothing predicts the general cleanliness of a person’s home better than the sink – if the sink’s dirty, usually the rest of the home is as well. If your sink is clean, that shows that you ARE in control and can clean your house effectively. Here’s some quick and easy advice to follow anytime you’re cooking – you may want to fill up the sink with hot water, put soap in it, and as it bubbles up and your cooking continues, put all the pots and pans in there. Even if you have a dishwasher, at least your surfaces remain tidy. Don’t go to bed or leave home unless your sink is spic and span, shiny and clean. It’s better to do the cleaning right after mealtime – have your kids help as well!
Remove The “Work” From Housework
No housewife (or house-husband) wants to spend all their time cleaning up. A bit of rest and relaxation can go a long way. You can take some time out within the week to reduce housework time by doing some superficial cleaning. This would only last about an hour per week, and you can do this any day of the week too. For example, you may want to do this ten minutes every morning before, ten minutes after work, every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This is a great way to cut down on the amount of housework.
The stress of everyday living can take its toll on our bodies. And one thing that often goes along with stress is back pain. A teeter inversion table is a excellent treatment for back pain. Relax even more by wrapping yourself in a plush blankets showcasing your favorite color or artwork.
