How do you keep your house nice and clean without feeling overwhelmed.

I don’t. I was not taught how to do that but am slowly trying to change bad habits. I use tools like Fly Lady to work I’m cleaning fast and systematically clean areas for only about 15 minutes a day.

Keeping up the maintenance is the key. Once you recognize what makes the mess, you can figure out how often it would need to be tended to. Manage the maintenance with honor and care. Know it’s worth.. cleaner, neater space with peace of mind. It took me a while to get here so try to take it easy on yourself as u transition into the new habits you gain.

I clean one section per room during the week and one chore (I.e. wash a pile of clothes) and one – two entire rooms per weekend. I also allow myself to not feel defeated if I don’t finish the entire weekend task and reward myself when I do. This way I stay motivated and don’t get overwhelmed.

I clean any mess immediatly, even if I don’t have much time Sticking to this habbit was prety easy and it gave me a huge advantage for an efficient time management

Keeping a cleaning routine and/or schedule is vital when cleaning. I like to start with little things like or organizing the things in my backpack or laundry or making my bed. Overtime, make your way to the bigger things.

I do "Just one thing extra" at change points. So before I go to work I might just start the laundry. When I get home I would only finish it. After supper I would vacuum the livingroom. Or if I’m going from one place to another I will see if an object either needs to be put away or taken to the other room. Linking it to the task change and committing to one small thing keeps it feeling manageable

Clean house makes me feel calm and relaxed,so cleaning is not problem for me, after cleaning i Light candle and enjoy beautiful smell

If my house is a mess I will 100% feel overwhelmed but a little trick I learned from a friend is that if the task takes five minutes or less just do it that way you won’t feel stressed about having to get back to school or work and by the end of the day your stress will be somewhat/ totally gone!

I think cleaning as you go is natural to some people. For me it isn’t. I’ve really had to force myself to start taking ten minutes in the morning, night, and a few times throughout the day to clean. I always clean the kitchen right after i sue it and make my bed asap. I always wipe down the bathroom after i shower and do laundry on sundays.

Have a place for everything! No seriously, and when you use something put it back when you’re done. Have a certain time every day or every other day to clean up and do it in section by section.
