Order in the house - how to force yourself to do the cleaning.
Why put off until tomorrow WHAT you can ... not do at all? Usually this is the phrase used by the regulars of the disorder. But it also contains some grain of truth!
In fact, much of what a person excludes for a while from current plans can be postponed forever. For example, a person is going to learn to embroider with a Bulgarian cross or start designing furniture, but today there is no time, tomorrow there are many other important things, and then the Bulgarian cross or the invention of furniture is planned in a month, on holidays, on vacation, and so on. You have to admit to yourself that these activities are not for you! They did not interest you so much that putting aside many things, start their implementation - go to the store and buy a hoop and thread or purchase a set of tools for woodworking.
There is a very big difference between realizing dreams and unrealistic ideas that come to mind by accident! Those things that a person subconsciously is not ready to perform, he will postpone for an indefinite time, and for those ideas that are quite feasible in the future, he will always find a little time! And now - everything "in order"!
Housekeeping is an extremely unpromising matter, since it requires cyclic reproduction without material reward, and it is for this reason that the overwhelming majority of people tend to postpone cleaning indefinitely, guided by the subconscious futility of spending time on it.
Do not think that people who devote a lot of time to the cleanliness and orderliness of the surrounding living environment are cleaning their homes out of irresistible love for this process. It's just that these people are well organized, pedantic and tend to get aesthetic pleasure from cleanliness. Such people respond well to the symmetry and color combination of the objects around them, they love constancy. This is exactly what they strive for, placing objects in certain places, thinking over the interior and refreshing the colors of faded details of everyday life with a rag. Thus, people create conditions for themselves for aesthetic satisfaction, that is, one of the ways of resting the nervous system.
Home cleaning is a necessary thing in a person's life, at least from the point of view of hygiene, because the dust deposited on household items, on walls, on the floor contains a large number of harmful microorganisms brought from the street, and one day they will get into food, mouth, respiratory ways, through a household skin scratch into the body and arrange a "party" there.
Not all people are equally interested in the issue of hygiene according to the principle: "If microbes are not visible, then they do not exist!" And if you are not ready to take care of your health thoroughly, and cleaning still remains a difficult task, go to plan "B" - to cleaning as a creative process.
To approach the cleaning process with natural interest, and not with disgust and grief over wasted hours of life, you must:
- Come up with a plan for the beautiful placement of household items,
- Fix in your memory the conventional places of things that you would like to look at endlessly,
- Buy beautiful home furnishings (practical and trinkets),
- And ... start to carry out our plans - cleaning as an opportunity to update the interior!
This begs the question: "Well, to update the interior every week, does EVERYTHING get littered every day?"
Has anyone seen a beautiful interior, decorated with things scattered in a chaotic manner on furniture and floors? - No! A beautiful interior is consistency in a certain period of time! And this time interval will be a week. At the end of the week, you can make changes to the design of the environment (to polish and arrange everything beautifully) and again give yourself pleasant moments - contemplation of beauty! As an incentive prize from "cleaning - creativity" can remain photographs of a brand new arrangement of living quarters, which can be shared with others.
Practical tips for high-speed room cleaning:
- Dust is not so visible on light furniture, walls, floors and light household items, which will give you a break for a while! (But health is more important.)
- Cleaning Improvement of the premises can be carried out in parts - divide the room into zones, come up with a style of placing objects for each zone and implement ideas at different times.
- The insides of cabinets and closets are also a place for your creativity. You can allocate a separate extra time for each cabinet, and not do everything in one day.
- The cooking and eating area is spotlessly clean, where the "decor" is maintained daily! Don't leave "two unwashed plates" or "a cup" on the table or in the sink, they ruin all the design work done in many hours, but wash in one minute. Save your energy!
- Cooking is WHAT destroys established design! Therefore, accompany each manipulation in the kitchen with the return to the place of the accessories with which you work. For example: used a board for cutting food or a bowl for mixing them, immediately after the end of the process (if you don't need them further), wash and put them back in place. In the kitchen, cleanliness is maintained by the principle of “take - use - wash - put in place”. This principle, brought to automatism, will play a big role in saving time for cleaning the kitchen after cooking!
- Wiping one circuit breaker a day is five minutes, wiping all circuit breakers in one day is an hour of work and wasted time.
- Chandelier lampshades are also an element of decor that attracts not only looks, but also dust! One chandelier per week is a maximum of half an hour. Refresh all the chandeliers at the same time during the general cleaning period, this is half a day of "wasted work" erased from life!
Don't waste too much time cleaning, life is short to be wasted! But turn cleaning into entertainment (a hobby) - and you will stop getting tired of it!
