I love this article and list. Great idea. I hate the marathon weekend cleaning sessions. I've been trying to do this, I was trying to do 2 things in the house a night after work. This list might help me break out and cover more ground on the cleaning front. Thanks!


How To Clean Your House in 20 Minutes a Day for 30 Days

We try and eliminate distractions in our house, like putting the TV in a closet for a season and turning off the radio. This gives us time to do things we aspire to do but normally don’t think to do in our everyday life. Like play instruments. Once all the easy entertainment options are gone, you find yourself doing really cool creative things, like reading and making art and walking in nature more.

This also works for stuff in the house. When you have less, there is less to pick up. And with dieting, if I don’t buy the chocolate and I’m home, then I have no choice but to eat the carrot sticks, if that is all there is in the house. It might sound crazy and extreme, but having less is really liberating.

We recently sold one house and moved to another. Lacking experience, this took about 3 months. All our stuff was stored in a friend’s basement and we lived in the new house, empty, for a month before we finished the renovations. The lesson we learned, besides planning better or not moving, was that we really didn't need that much stuff. In fact, life is simpler, cleaner and easier with less stuff. Now we have a basement full of boxes and feelings of dread in unpacking and finding places to put everything.
