i agree with what that guy said - we are only human and can only do so much (and there's no point in getting overwhelmed). I try to ration out my housework throughout the week so I'm not bombarded. I do my dad's laundry on Mondays usually, mine on Tuesday or Wednesday, do dishes as they get dirty (best way to do things - ever) and then spend one evening a week CLEANING cleaning. It's been working out... I love a clean house. Otherwise things just feel so messy/cluttery/etc, which is totally distracting!

you are so right, yesterday i may have over done it a little ,as i started feeling a little stressed.. and ended up taking extra on my medication , that and getting just a little sleep kinda got too me.. as sleep is very important to my health..so i get that messed up and i get very sick.. so i have one more stressful appointment i have to go to tomorrow, and then after that i can settle down and hopefully get more sleep.. my husband even came home and he did notice the house work i had done and i know he appreciated it and saw all my hard work i told him i would do our kitchen (declutter) tomorrow and he said ok but just dont over do it and do too much hun.. and so today did not go as planned i still have not got my dishes done.. let alone the delcutter becasue i just felt like i needed sleep more
so i did take a long nap.. but now i still feel tired.. and dont feel the greatest i will do my dishes in a few and then hubby will be home and i may go to bed..
i do hope i can sleep tonight.. i really like the way you do things and your cleaning routine.. i may try and do something similar see how that goes.. just might work out for me as well. thanks maezee great ideas take care..

It is always nice to clean all the rooms in the house and getting rid of the unimportant stuff that you don't need. When I do this, it's like a reboot to my life, like my brain is telling me that I am restarting. The best feeling, of this kind, is when I move furniture around the house, so I can really clean the places I cannot reach and I see a better position for the couch or for the bed. People actually make an art from stuff like this.

i use to do that move furniture around alot when we had a bigger house would drive my hubby nuts lol.. he would get so mad... somtimes he would insist i change it back and i would.. i remember once i move a big huge computer desk in our house now in the living room and it is already not small but not huge in here either but that was a pain to move from the bedroom to the living room and he came home and i had it in front of the window and he got so mad.. but he said ok leave it.. and i won that one.. so later i wanted a change and i ended up giving it to my friend who loved it.. but i see now it is much better not in here as more room and i can see out my window.. so lol hubby was right as usual.. take care and enjoy the day

Oh lord it'd take an army and the hoarders team to get this house in order. Not to mention the mess of things, there is also a lot of things that need to be repaired. I've had to move back in and all I want to do is move out. Good luck with your cleaning and wish you a happy time doing it. Trust me if I could clean everything here it'd take me about a month of two of spending every day off work.

I always get distracted when I am on the computer as well. Because I work from home, it is always far too tempting to sit on the internet and earn some money instead of doing the things that need to be done around the home, because I know that I wouldn't get paid for that at all. I find it helpful to get everything done that needs to be first thing in the morning after breakfast, and then I will start my work around 9am when everything is done. Then I can fit everything in alongside a full working day, which is great for me.

its gret that you have a plan that works..im starting to get mine together, i got my living room looking good and once i got rid of the junk it looks amazing and very clean , hubby will think he is at the wrong house lol.. but my plan is different as i will do mylot when i first get up, now that im getting up early, do mylot while hubby is asleep, then i have to fix his lunch and do dishes.. so i dont start my house work until 2 .. after he leaves for work.. then if i start at 2 on the dot and work and get it all done, the list .. then later i still have time for mylot walking and tv.. so i got alot done today.. all around my dog loved her walk but we did not get far it was way to hot.. infact im still hot thank god i have air cond..thanks for posting and keep up the goood work..
