Organize your home

Our thoughts, sometimes, are bigger than our strength. We want to accomplish big tasks everyday that we plot schedules, list of “things to do” and “must-get- done” for that day. Yet we always end up believing that there is still “tomorrow”, that there is still another convenient time to get things done. Worst, we missed to consider that we have not really started a single task.

If that is the case, it is wise to accept that things should be worked on one at a time before everything falls into place rather than bombarding yourself with a long list of plans that are far possible.

Keeping a house a home is perpetual. Even rest days are not rest days for working people. With the house chores that need to be accomplished, homes seem like blue-collar establishment with no day-offs!

Is the weight of burden depends on the size of the household? Not likely. Even if you are still single, you may feel you are too responsible of organizing your home that you might even outweigh a large size household’s chores. You eat alone, sleep alone, you do all your routines alone, but you might wonder that the mess you caused your house or rented house equals that of a large household.

Why do you think this happens? Not taking action to get things done fosters feelings of helplessness. Taking action, even if it only involves committing ten minutes of your time each day to organize, is empowering and relieves stress. Seeing an organized atmosphere can be a catharsis.

If organizing is no easy task for you, find ways to break down the job into smaller, manageable tasks. The satisfaction of completing each small task is motivation to keep going. Of course, it's going to get messy in any household. It won't always be organized. But having a system in place to deal with it makes temporary disorganization less stressful.

There is no “right times” in keeping your home hassle free. Maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of your place is some sort of a commitment. However, this responsibility doesn’t have to get in the way in some of your “major commitments” for each day. Thus, instead of scheduling a general cleaning once a month, why not do it once a week? This might sound burdensome since you need to clean up 4 times in a month, but imagine this less hassle way of organizing your home, it’s too great an idea isn’t it?

True, the more you procrastinate, the little the things you can accomplish, and the greater the chances of acquiring stress from organizing a messed-up place.

Hence, it is always better to work things out as soon as possible before you run out of time.
