There are many things that need to be done daily in order to maintain a clean and organized environment. As much as many of us don't like doing certain chores, we must make ourselves do them so as not to have problems in the future. There will be those moments in your life where you may have to sit awhile, lie down in a bed, or do other things that might cause you to fall behind, but if you are staying on top of your environment, it won't be so bad.
People feel overwhelmed with cleaning and organizing because they oftentimes let things go. They don't bother to put anything back and they don't break long enough from fun activities to get things done. So here are some tasks that if you stay on top of them often, they won't burden you later.
1. Remove clutter around your work areas ie.) kitchen counter, dining room table, office desk
2. Take out trash (just not in cans, but on counter tops, corners, shelves, cabinets, refrigerator, etc.)
3. Do laundry (if it sits around long enough, now you have a problem with air quality at home).
4. Clean the bathroom.
5. Keep children's toys and crafts in their proper places. (If you don't have any consistent place to return items, make up one and show the children where to put their things.)
6. Vacuum which also includes taking the hose off and grabbing dust in hard to reach areas.
7. Wash dishes. (Simple enough, but if you don't tackle this task without thinking too deeply about them, they too will pile up).
When we take a moment each day to focus on our personal environment and tidy it up, it helps with our thinking. We don't feel as much stress, because we have freed ourselves from having to do just one more thing. We are then better able to concentrate on other responsibilities.
