... Spring-Clean Checklist ...
I’ve been living
on my own for 8 years now and that means I have been responsible of keeping my
house together, clean and in one piece most of the time. Cleaning is a daunting
task and it is one of these things that we all keep postponing for “tomorrow”. Since
it is spring clean season I thought I share with you some of the things that
give me the urge to start cleaning my house and all the things that make the
process kind of enjoyable.
1- Put on some tunes!
Whether it’s a speaker or
your headphones put on your favorite tunes and don a dance party every now and
then. It makes a difference.
2- Make yourself
a cup of joe!
Coffee is your friend and
will keep you energized for the day, If you are not a coffee person like me it’s
ok you can make your favorite drink and enjoy that instead.
3- Tackle each
room at a time!
Try to stick in each room separately. Its difficult sometimes
because when you are in the zone you just want to clean everything. But to make
your experience more pleasant you need to prepare and plan each room and stick
to the plan. It will consume less time and effort and you will be done before
you know it.
4- When you
finish each room, decorate!
Now is the perfect time
to decorate. All your things are clean and you are already moving stuff around.
Play with what you already have. You don’t have to spent a fortune to give your
space a new vibe.
5- Brake!
Remember brakes are
important. Take a break for food and water. Put a timer on your phone every
hour to take a sip of water. That is what I am worst at. I forget to drink
water and can go a full day without it whenever I am cleaning. Since I started putting
the alarms on my phone I stayed hydrated and by the time I finished my spring
cleaning I has headache free and I wasn’t grumpy / hungry.
6- Don’t get
emotional!
It is so easy to fall in
the trap. Spring cleaning means that you will have to get rid of some junk or
some of the things that are no longer of use to you. All of us have the drawer
of junk and sentimental crap like receipts or tickets from that concert etc.
and unless you have a bullet journal that you can put them in or a special
place that they should go, you really should throw them away. I feel that
spring cleaning should be done when we have the mentality of “ f@ck this sh!t,
I don’t need that, I don’t need anything, I will live like a nomad.”
I’ve done some very
efficient spring cleanings with that mind set.
That was it for today. Whatever
you do make sure you do it safe organized and have fun in the process!
Happy cleaning!
Thanks for being here!
See you soon!
