Spring Cleaning Tips
Spring has sprung, and cleaning your living or workspace can boost your mental health and increase your productivity. For some, cleaning is a tedious chore, but it also has the ability to provide a soothing effect similar to that of meditation. Spring is a perfect time to get in the cleaning spirit by decluttering and re-organizing.
Start fresh. Clearing out old or unwanted items can be a simple start to a spring-cleaning session. Try sorting your belongings into different categories such as
“trash”, “want but don’t need” and “old/too small/unusable”. When you decide what you’re not going to keep, you can donate, sell or have a yard sale to get rid of the items.Gather supplies. Before you start cleaning, make sure you have all necessary supplies such as cleaning solution, paper towels, gloves, etc.
Make a checklist. Having a checklist will help you stay on track with your cleaning. Remember not to take on too much at once. Start with one area and check a little off your list as you go.
Get organized. Investing in storage options can help de-clutter, while stylish cabinets and boxes can add decoration and make it easier to find items you need.
Upgrade your space. When you’re done cleaning, don’t forget to give your home or office space a finishing touch! Add a new piece of artwork or lighting to finalize your project.
Having an untidy space can cause distractions while the sight of a clean home or office can ease your mind. Open a window to let in some fresh air and take some time to spring clean today!
