Last week I was without a computer for six long days. I didn’t realize how much of my time was spent in front of this electronic box, until it was gone.
The first day I wandered the house, looking for something to do. I found myself, picking up, straightening up and before I knew it I was cleaning the house from top to bottom.
To say it needed it would be an understatement and now that it’s done, I can’t believe the difference. My house wasn’t insanely dirty, but it had gotten out of control.
Between working, writing and spending time with friends and family over the holidays I had let things go. Now, I’m back on track.
The really amazing thing is that it is now easier to keep the house clean. Not only that, everything seems easier. When I don’t have to clear a space on the counter to make cookies it takes very little time to make have freshly baked cookies.
Not having to pick up and put away things in the bathroom in order to get ready in the morning makes my morning run smoother, it’s actually cut ten minutes off the amount of time it takes me to get ready in the morning.
The same goes for my bedroom. When it’s time for bed, I don’t have to get clothes off the bed before I can get in it.
I don’t know why I let things get out of control. I like a clean house and it really doesn’t take much work to keep it neat. But I know if I let just one thing get out of control before I know it the whole house will be a mess again.
I don’t know about you but I feel like I can relax more and get more accomplished if my house is clean. Now, I just need to keep it that way
