Today is cleaning day in our house. I am planning to attack the clutter that has taken over the dining room table, but sometimes I lack the motivation to clean and I keep procrastinating. There is never any end to the cleaning, and I can come up with about a million excuses not to clean. When the house is not neat, I tend to get grouchy because I cannot find things, or I avoid having company over because the house is too cluttered.
When I find myself putting off the cleaning, I go to FLYLady.net for some inspiration. Her approach to keeping your house neat and tidy is brilliant. You start with baby steps. First, you keep your kitchen sink shining. Then you work on your morning routine, and one zone of the house.
From the site:
Are YOU living in CHAOS?
(Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome)Do you feel overwhelmed, overextended, and overdrawn?
Hopeless and you don’t know where to start?
Don’t worry friend, we’ve been there, too.
I have found FLYLady to be a terrific resource, and I hope you do too!
