Things to remember:
- Make lists and/or journal so that you can get the things floating around your head on paper. Then you can better evaluate what is needed to be dealt with, what can be ignored, and what can be delegated.
- Containers are good boundaries. If something doesn’t fit in its assigned container, consider getting rid of some of it so that you fit. You probably don’t need more or bigger containers.
- If you don’t know if you’re ready to get rid of something. Box it up and put it in storage for a predetermined amount of time (1, 3, or 6 months are great time measurements). If you haven’t reached for it during that time, then donate it, trash it, or give it to somebody who will use it!
- Anything worth doing is worth getting done. This means you may not be able to do a task perfectly or with as much time or attention as you would like to dedicate to it, but you should still do it anyway and to the best of your ability.
- Making sure to be eating healthy, drinking water, and getting good quality sleep will help make everything feel more achievable.
Deep Cleaning Your Home:
This download, which you can get delivered to your inbox, has nine pages. The cover page has a space for you to write down why “this” is important. Why do you care about cleaning your home? You can leave this space blank, but I encourage you to fill it in. You can use a Bible verse, your favorite quote, or you can answer the question.
Here are some examples:
1 Corinthians 14:40: “Let all things be done decently and in order”.
“What must be done is best done cheerfully” – Pa Ingalls
Our family thrives in a clean and orderly environment. It is worth it to maintain a clean home for the sake of our ability to serve others, rest, and relate. – our Why.
