Don’t allow clutter and grime to take over your space. Embrace the principle of cleaning as you go.
Spend an additional 10 minutes here and there to tidy up, wipe surfaces, empty bins, and clean used-up jars in the kitchen. By adopting this habit, you prevent chores from piling up and cleaning from becoming a time-consuming marathon that drains hours from your day.
Benefits:
- Embracing the “clean as you go” mantra keeps your home consistently neat, fostering a serene atmosphere and minimizing stress.
- Plus, tackling small cleaning tasks regularly prevents dirt and clutter from accumulating, sparing you the hassle of long, exhaustive cleaning sessions and leaving you with more time and energy for the things you love.
Life Hack:
- Set reminders on your phone or create a cleaning schedule to seamlessly integrate small tidying tasks into your daily routine
