The first signs of Spring mean a time of rebirth - there are green shoots appearing and a joy in the air. Newborn lambs jump around picture-postcard fields. Nature never fails. It's a time to be optimistic again and to start getting one's own house in order. Mentally, a spring clean will make you feel better too.
Start your spring clean
Begin by breaking tasks into small manageable areas, that way you will not be overwhelmed. By doing a little bit of cleaning/sorting each day it will be no time at all before your place will be as a smooth and clean as a baby's bottom. Remember a journey begins with a single step. You could concentrate on each category over a number of weeks if necessary.
Monday - sort out paperwork
Tuesday - (kitchen) wipe surfaces and steam mop floors
Wednesday - (bathroom) clean cupboards, mop floor and give the bath/toilet/sink a 'deep' clean
Thursday - sort out an area that's been neglected, like a cupboard
Friday - throw out unwanted clothes
Saturday - concentrate on cleaning and vacuum any other areas of your home that haven't been done yet.
Sunday - take stuff to the civic waste tip. Put your feet up in the afternoon.
How about all those general tasks you've been putting off, such as re-painting the garden fence or repairing the garage roof?
Firstly, set a side a day for each of these larger tasks in your calender. Then add at least another day to the calender so that you have extra time if the task runs over.
With these suggestions you'll feel much better, your home will look great, and you will be able to appreciate green shoots everywhere.
