Thats right Jamie. The weekends are always the best time for me to get things in order. I usually schedule a cleanup day every other weekend. Basically, Saturday and Sunday are usually for cleaning.
But during the week I will do whatever I can get my hands on.
Setting up a schedule is a great idea! I have a difficult time keeping my room clean. They say people who are creative are less organized, I don’t know if this is true but it would totally make sense to me.
Keeping my room clean makes me feel better too. Its hard to keep up with, but having my room clean and welcoming generally helps my state of mind, especially if I’m not doing too well.
Keeping my room/ apartment clean in general is a balance that I often have to keep in check in order to make sure I don’t feel cluttered within myself. Along with what a lot of you other folks are mentioning on here, when my home is cluttered and unorganized, I feel unsettled within my person as well. The thing I tend to struggle with the most is getting around to putting away the clean laundry once it is all clean and I have brought it back home from doing it at my parent’s house. I tend to leave it hanging around the house in bags and baskets and would rather pick out my daily clothes from there than actually take the time to put it in the drawers and hang it up in the closet. Nevertheless, once I get fed up with my home looking like a twister has gone through it, I will stay up and clean it entirely-meaning the bath tub, toilet, sweep, mop, dishes, kitchen, clean out the fridge, etc. all at once, no matter how long it takes or how much work it is. I guess I just have to be mentally prepared to deal with it all! 🙂
