Tips For Getting Spring Cleaning Done Fast
If you are looking for some tips on how to get your Spring cleaning done fast, well then let me assure you, you have come to the right spot.
In your home and homestead, spring cleaning is an essential yearly event that can change the way you feel about your home, and even your life. I know it works wonders around our homestead. Spring is a great time to get rid of the old, and bring on the new… spring cleaning can make your home feel like a fresh and new one. I love doing a good spring clean and then adding a bit of springy decor just to make it feel fresh and clean and new.
It can be difficult to organize your workflow, though, so here are a few ideas you can implement that will allow you to get your spring cleaning done in a timely fashion.
Have a Plan in Place
When you embark on your spring cleaning, it helps to have a plan ready to follow. Of course you will want to be flexible and go with the flow when unexpected events arise, but you will find it is much easier to stay on track when you have a list prepared beforehand of what you wish to accomplish. Whether it is brief or detailed is up to you, as long as it is there.
Put on Some Upbeat Music
Nothing makes cleaning more bearable than some good music. Gather your favorite tunes and prepare a special spring cleaning playlist. Lively music with a good, strong beat is one of the best ways to keep your energy up when you have a big job ahead.
Schedule in Breaks
You will most certainly be working hard while spring cleaning, but you don’t want to burn out. Be sure to schedule in some breaks for yourself. Even a 15-minute break once every hour or so will keep your spirits up. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water and grab a snack during this time, as it will give you the energy necessary to stick to the task.
Race against Yourself
The best challenge is a challenge against yourself. When you are engaging in spring cleaning, give yourself the challenge of beating your own speed. Set a timer and try to beat the minutes or hours you spent in the last room. Be creative in your challenges, and the time will fly by.
Set a Goal with a Reward
From young to old, we all love a great reward. When you have a huge task such as spring cleaning to accomplish, it can help to give yourself a specific goal, and reward yourself with something special when that goal has been achieved. Whether you want to go out for dinner when finished, or get a pedicure with a friend, you deserve to be pampered after all your hard work. This will give you something to look forward to, and to motivate you when you are feeling burnt out and ready to quit.
Spring cleaning can take as little or as long as you let it. If you are trying to get your organizing done in as little time as possible, there are ways to give you the extra boost you need. Use some of these tips as motivation, and you will notice how much easier it is to keep on track and get the job done. A squeaky clean, organized home comes to those who persist.
