Lifestyle: Get Cleaning in with ease

 

In the grand scheme of academic excellence, domestic chores may contribute less. However, chores can gradually contribute to academic downfall. It is easy to stall cleaning and handle it haphazardly, but it can be a hassle once it piles up. Good thing you can get some cleaning in, with ease, despite your choky academic schedule. Check the subsequent tips to squeeze cleaning through your tight academic schedule. 

Clean as it happens

Cleaning immediately it happens spare you the headache of alloting time to do it later. It also keeps your room fairly tidy pending when you will deep-clean. For instance, mopping the spot you spilled your drink or water when it happens reduces the number of to-do task afterwards. You will be doing your future self a great service by tossing litters of pure water and snacks into the trash can or basket. 

So rinse that cup of garri immediately to avoid clenching your teeth to scrub the sticky garri cup later. Try picking up that clothe that fell off your wardrobe while you were rummaging through it. Getting rid of these blocks of tasks prevents them from building up to overwhelm you. There you go. You are already getting some cleaning in, easily.

Erect cleaning kits at arm's length

Cleaning as it happens may be taxing if cleaning agents or kits are not within your reach. For instance, excusing yourself from an online test in search for a mop that is mile away is like going overboard — just kidding, I know you won't try that. Simply, position your trash can or basket, broom, packer and other kits at arm's length. This makes cleaning to be an almost reflex action. 

Infuse positive reinforcement in your cleaning routine

If the aforementioned still leave you dragging your feet to execute your domestic chores, try positive reinforcements. Reinforce your morale to tackle domestic chores by playing your favorite music, podcast, or even singing aloud. You can even exalt yourself with a catchphrase; for example, after I have squeaky- cleaned my room, I call myself a- fifty- yard wife material. You can also reward yourself with a little treat to help you anticipate cleaning with fondness.This will bring forth fulfilment. 

Clean with finesse

A rule of thumb says you should not keep doing the same thing the same way if you expect a different result; instead, tackle things with a different method for a refreshing result. The same applies to your chores; think of new approach to ridding your shoes of that gross smell by sprinkling baking soda in it; instead of dipping it in water to wash. Opt for lemon juice and sunlight to brighten your white clothes instead of wriggling it while you wash. You can also spice up your cleaning with research; check online for easy, cost-effective and fun way to do your chores.

The above are practicable ways to deliberately prevent your chores from piling up to shatter your academic performance. Break down tight your chores by cleaning as it happens; position cleaning kits within your reach; make it rewarding by infusing positive reinforcements, and of course seek new ways to tackle your chores. These will help you anticipate your pending domestic chores with less dread.
