Ever hit the snooze button one too many times? We’ve all been there. But what about hitting the snooze button on your cleaning routine? It’s easy to procrastinate on household chores, but just like author and motivational speaker, Mel Robbins, teaches us to conquer the snooze button in our daily lives, we can also overcome the urge to delay our cleaning duties.
Why is it so hard to clean?
The first step is to identify the root cause of your procrastination. Is it the overwhelming feeling of a cluttered space? Or is it the dread of a specific chore? Once you pinpoint the issue, you can start to address it.
Break down big tasks into smaller ones
Instead of tackling the entire house in one go, focus on one room or even one area at a time. This will make the task seem less daunting and more achievable.
Create a cleaning schedule
Set aside specific time slots for cleaning daily or weekly. Stick to the schedule as much as possible and reward yourself for completing your tasks. This will help you stay motivated and accountable.
Make cleaning enjoyable
Play your favourite music or podcast while you clean. Light a scented candle or spray some air freshener to create a pleasant atmosphere. Make it a habit to clean with a friend or family member for some company and support (even if it’s virtually)!
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
If you’re struggling to keep up with the cleaning, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or MOLLY MAID Canada, getting help can lighten your load and make cleaning less stressful.
