As life gets busier with time passing, we can find ourselves needing to hit the “reset” button periodically.
Even if there isn’t a physical button, there’s still something that can help with starting over, and that’s cleaning your home.
We understand that cleaning might seem like extra stress, but a clean space can help alleviate stress, leading to a more productive day.
With that in mind, we want to share a couple of ways to implement this into your own life and how to maintain it moving forward.
1. Put It On Your Calendar
When life gets crazy, we put off cleaning because it’s not high enough on our to-do lists, but that can lead to more harm than good.
You’ll want to find some time once a month to clean your house as a whole.
The reason being that if your home is a mess, then it’s proven that your productivity goes down, and it’s hard to concentrate, so by penciling in this set time as the number one thing in your to-do once a month, you’ll feel more productive and ready to take on the world.
A recommendation could be the first Saturday of every month. But don’t feel like you must use our example.
Find what works best for you, and stick with it.
2. Pick Up Daily
This might sound confusing. We get it. This article is about a monthly cleaning reset. But if you tidy up a little bit each day, when the day comes to dive straight into the work, you won’t feel overwhelmed.
Try to keep items off the counter, the sink empty, and sweep your floors every day before bed, and you’ll be amazed at the difference in how your home feels with just these three steps.
Imagine when your entire home is sparkling clean. You’ll be glad that you carried through on this step.
If your schedule is overloaded, set a timer for 10 minutes, do as much work as you can within that time frame, and once the time is complete, then you’re set for the day.
Also, if you find it difficult to declutter regardless of how much time you have, we have a blog post on the top 3 rules for decluttering, so make sure to check that out.
3. Don’t Forget To Deep Clean
You might be focusing on the more prevalent aspect of this home reset, and that’s getting everything off the floor so that your home doesn’t look messy. And even though this is essential, you also can’t forget to deep clean.
There are more places in your home that are crawling with germs than you realize, so to take care of this, you’ll want to disinfect everything from your bedroom to your kitchen.
Deep cleaning doesn’t have to happen every day, but you should be doing it minimally once a month during your home resets.
