5 Tips to Make Cleaning More Fun
My hectic schedule requires me to be always on the go and have something to do. I spend my weekdays working, while I focus on my graduate studies by the weekend. It wasn't easy and yes, I had trouble with my schedule. Nevertheless, I was able to survive the first semester and now I'm ready to face the second one.
Despite my almost always occupied schedule, I make sure to find time to clean my room. Cleaning is imperative regardless of our status in life and a must for us to stay healthy. While I know for a fact that it is necessary, there are times that I need extra motivation to do all the cleaning.
My favorite songs inspire me to work. Listening calms my mind and sets me on the mood. What's playlist normally depends on what I am feeling but when I am cleaning, I make sure to play only the ones that put me on the groove. Rap songs by Kanye West and the electrying hits of Imagine Dragons also make me want to accomplish something (cleaning is not an exemption).
Making a list of your to-do things can help you organize your thoughts. It can also help you accomplish more and prevent you from forgetting something.Need to throw the garbage? go ahead and add it on your list.
Make cleaning more exciting using functional yet awe-inspiring cleaning tools. I always love having a facial tissue with me wherever I go; just in case I badly need it. I have this simple pouch where I placed my personal cleaning materials, but if you're at home, try getting one of these cute free standing toilet paper holder that I found online. Aside from something that I find a cute and inspiring toilet paper holders, I personally like fun-looking cleaning materials like this super comical stand-alone double toilet paper holder. You may try suiting it to your personality or to your home interiors. That way, you don't only have a cleaning material but also a home decor.
I love cleaning in the morning while my mind is calm and ready to conquer the day. Of course, I do have my breakfast and coffee before doing all the household chores. Trust me, cleaning in the morning after your morning tea of coffee does the trick! You'll get to accomplish more even before noon.
Two is always better than one. Not just in tango but also in cleaning! I love cleaning by my own but I do appreciate it when I have somebody to help me. It's usually my younger brother who helps me and I'm always glad having him around. Got a partner? a child? a sibling? Ask him/her to clean with you and use the activity as a chance to bond with each other. You may then proceed in having a snack afterwards. Sounds like a good idea to me!
I hope these tips will help you on your next cleaning schedule. Sorry for my long hiatus! I promise to make it up to you this week.
love lots,

Those were really great tips Tin! I used to hate cleaning the house, but now I have scheduled cleaning the house every day, but not more than 15 minutes. That way the house stays pretty clean and organized throughout the whole week.
