How much and how often you are paying to a cleaning lady for her service? How much is it total in a year?
Learn to be minimalist and use 10 "little habits" to keep your home "uncluttered for a long time" and get rid of the burden of housework.
01. There is the concept of separation and abandonment
Disengagement is one of the core concepts of minimalist living. In life, we are often surrounded by all kinds of things, and getting rid of them means retaining meaningful things and discarding useless things through careful consideration. First of all, with the concept of separation and no hoarding, you can make the items in your home more concise and orderly and reduce unnecessary clutter.
02. Keep items in the house in one place and out in the other.
To keep your home tidy, a simple and practical principle is "one in, one out". Whenever new items are introduced, promptly consider clearing out old items. This helps prevent items from piling up in your home and keeping it fresh. You know your inventory level, you buy when you need.
03. Make the bed
Don’t think that the bedroom is invisible to outsiders. In fact, it is a major test for the owner to develop good habits. Keeping the bed tidy can give people a particularly comfortable feeling. Every morning, the first thing after getting up is to open the bed to ventilate the bed where you have slept all night. After freshening up, having breakfast and getting ready to go out, make the bed. Develop this little habit to refresh your entire home environment.
04. Learn to classify and store things, and return things to their original places after use
Classified storage is one of the effective ways to organize your home. By categorizing items and placing similar items together, you not only make rummaging easier, but also make the entire space look more organized. If you can develop the habit of "returning items to their original places after use" and returning items to their original locations, you can avoid cluttered scenes and make your life more orderly.
05. Clean while cooking, and wash the dishes immediately after eating
Too much stuff when cooking often makes the whole environment look cluttered. Taking advantage of the breaks between cooking and cleaning up while cooking can not only improve efficiency, but also keep the kitchen tidy. After eating, many people like to wash the dirty dishes from several meals together. In fact, cleaning the dishes in time will make the home better. Develop the habit of putting dishes immediately into dish washer, cleaning the kitchen sink after eating. If you keep acummulating, washing them together will increase the workload and make you less want to wash them.
06. Pack your things in advance before going to bed
When you get home after get off work, the last thing you want to see is a mess. Before going to bed the day before, clearing away the messy items at home in advance can make you feel more relaxed after coming home from get-off work, and can also reduce the workload of tidying up after a tiring day.
07. Do what can be done in two minutes immediately
There are many trivial things in life. If they can be completed within two minutes, it is best to deal with them immediately. This will not only prevent small things from piling up into big ones, but also avoid spending more time and energy solving them in the future.
08. Stack the clothes in the closet promptly after drying
If the clothes to be dried are not stacked in the closet in time, they will not only easily become dusty, but will also make the entire space look messy. You can sort the clothes when you fold them, so you spend less time putting them in the closet!
09. Don’t over-accumulate various bags and boxes
Bags and boxes are common items in life, but excessive accumulation often makes the home look messy. Bags and boxes can selectively leave some practical ones instead of piling up endlessly.
10. Have the concept that time is money
The time saved with the right method can improve the quality of life of yourself and your family!
