Doing a 9 to 5 while also being responsible for home duties affects not just your mental health, but also how much attention you’re able to pay around the house. As a result, beans being spilled on the kitchen counter and dirty laundry being haphazardly strewn about are probably common sights.
To begin with, it’s not your fault! You already have a bunch of roles to fill, and probably don’t have time to spare. However, we can change that this year.
Here are a few resolutions that will help you keep the house cleaner in 2020, without any compromises:
Early to bed and early to rise!
Pledge to go to bed an hour early and wake up an hour early too. This will buy you more time to straighten things up before the kids wake up. It will also help you plan the day ahead.
At the minimum, get the dirty dishes out of the way early morning so you don’t have unwanted guests (read: pests) when you get back home from work.
Moreover, kitchen messes and stains become more stubborn if they’re left unattended for a long time, so don’t leave them unattended to.
De-clutter
Clutter can make your home look messier than it is. But de-cluttering requires time and dedication. You might even have to dedicate a day or two to the cause. So more than de-cluttering, you’ll have to promise not to let any clutter accumulate in 2020.
Here are a few ways to go about this:
- Implement a proper filling system for documents. Empty a cupboard and dedicate it to the purpose. Put in baskets and label them with categories. One could include all the receipts and bills, while another could hold documents. Unwanted paper and documents are a huge source of visual stress, so this is a great way to get them out of line of sight.
- De-junk your drawers. Get rid of the clothes you don’t need. Throw away medication if it’s expired. Moreover, there’s no need to accumulate piles of books if they’re no longer useful—donate them.
Hire a maid!
One of the biggest benefits of hiring professional maids is that they can take care of all the cleaning tasks while you focus on spending more time with the kids and helping them with their homework. You can also spend that time focusing on yourself and on your hobbies.
One of the reasons most of us are reluctant to get a maid is that our work timings don’t always match with theirs.
Buy hiring a maid has become convenient, ever since you can avail their services on your own terms. Just speak to your professional maid service and they’ll accommodate you as per the timings that suit you.
