Hop on.

 

 

1. Strict Schedule.

 

American author Annie Dillard once said:

 

"A schedule defends from chaos and whim. A net for catching days."

 

Look, it's pretty clear that most of you are indeed not lazy. You just don't know how to manage your time properly.

With some help, you can improve your time management skills to help you make your home clean and tidy, bringing a profound sense of relief and peace of mind without any special effort.

'How'? You must be asking.

Well, the first optional solution is a contract you will sign yourself. 

For example: As part of a strong decision-making process - once a week, on Sunday at 10 AM (for example), you will clean your house no matter what!

Doing so will put you on the right track, giving you a sense of confidence and security in your approach.

The goal here is to change your behavioral patterns, not just provide a practical tactic. Even if you think you're lazy, this approach can help you overcome that perception and maintain a clean home. Most of you will probably find yourself mumbling something like: "Let's get this over with."

In order to make our argument more down to earth, we will describe an example from our personal life:

Surprise, surprise, but we, too, like most people, are fighting 'Personal laziness' when it comes to household chores. We understand the struggle, and you're not alone.

We've found that a strict schedule, like the one described above, is a game-changer.

It's a simple yet powerful tool that can help us overcome our tendency to be lazy and maintain a clean Home.

We've made up our minds that even if the end of the world comes and aliens take over live on Ellen DeGeneres show (God, please don't, We love Ellen), still, every Friday at 8 PM, we will clean our house. (and immediately after, We will kick these aliens' asses. No one will hurt our gorgeous Ellen!).

This very decision helps us overcome our tendency to be lazy. 

By the way, despite the dissonance that may arise intuitively following this advice ("After all, the problem is that I am lazy. How on earth will I manage to set regular cleaning time and stick to it from the first place?!"), Rest assured that even if it doesn't solve your problem completely, it will definitely take you several steps forward. Putting you on the right track. 

Set a schedule and stick to it no matter what!

 

Come to think of it, adhering to a regular schedule is a tool that will help you with a wide range of issues, not just with the subject of this article. You can read more about that here.

2. Acknowledge Your Weaknesses.

 

An ancient Chinese scholar once said:

 

"The sooner you recognize your weaknesses, the more you will avoid mistakes."

 

Okay, okay, you got us. There is no such quote (we invented it right now). However, the guiding principle is still valid - acknowledging your weaknesses is not a sign of defeat but a powerful tool that can help you better understand your personal difficulties and pave the way for significant personal growth. This realization can be the light that guides you toward a better version of yourself.

Self-awareness is indeed your superpower. It equips you with the ability to find better ways to deal with your weaknesses and firmly puts you in control of your personal growth journey.

Read more here about how you can turn your weaknesses into strengths.

The same goes here:

Suppose you have managed to be honest enough with yourself and, indeed, internalize that you are a bit lazy (this is not a judgment but a simple truth). This insight alone can take you to productive places, the first of which is to try not to make too much of a mess in the first place! 

If you knew all along that you would have a hard time cleaning up and tidying things up later, do your best to minimize as much "messy" behavior In the first place.

At first glance, this insight may sound relatively trivial, but believe us - it is not, and many people really need this wake-up call to remind themselves of their personal challenges and what they should avoid. 

So, why not take a moment to reflect on your own weaknesses? It's a simple, straightforward process that can lead to significant personal growth. It's the first step towards a better you.

Get to know yourself

And If we are already in the business of recommendations regarding advance planning, another tip that will help you is smart shopping.

Some household products require exhausting regular and daily maintenance, while others are just the opposite, and simple, infrequent cleaning will get the job done.

Putting your hand on those furniture/home accessories will make your life much easier.

3. Get Help.

 

Ultimately, there is nothing like the good old tool of reaching out for help. Remember, you're not alone in this. There's a whole community of people who understand and are ready to support you, so don't hesitate to ask for help when needed.

It can be in the form of close family members and even friends.

And if, in this case, you have come to the obvious conclusion you are struggling with motivation or finding it hard to get started, talk about it with your loved ones (and hope they will not punch you in the face...) and humbly ask for their help.

Remember, it's a two-way street. Just as you seek help, be ready to offer your services in return. It's not about free gifts; it's about being part of a community that thrives on mutual support.

Don't underestimate your own abilities. Your help is just as important and valuable as the help you receive. You're a valuable part of the support network, and your contributions matter. Each time you offer your help, you're making a significant contribution to the well-being of others.

 

Help each other

 

If you're still hesitant about asking for help, remember that professional services are always an option. Whether it's hiring a cleaner or seeking professional advice, these services are designed to support you. Help is always within reach, and it's okay to utilize these resources when needed. 

Although this service is more relevant to those who can afford it, it can still be used infrequently and differentially in home spaces. Even a one-time use can help a lot.

4. Small Aid Tools.

 

All of the above are principles from which you can derive many practical courses of action.

In this paragraph, we will mention some tiny tips that can make a big difference and help you in your lofty efforts to keep your home clean and stay as lazy as ever - 'The lazy person's guide to cleaning a home.'

 

Disposable Utensils.

 

Using disposable utensils is a convenient solution that will help you avoid the hassle of washing dishes after each use, a task that can be quite daunting for the lazy at heart.

It's also relevant for baking surfaces and so on.

 

Ordering Food.

 

Although we want to avoid getting into expense discussions, ordering food is one of the best ways to help you stay clean and lazy at the same time.

Doing so will help you with dishwashing and the complex organization of shared meals.

Active Cleaning.

 

Identify places characterized by the accumulation of dirt and bad odor and add neutralizing/preventing substances.

For instance, take charge of your refrigerator, microwave, and other potential odor hotspots by using the power duo of bakingsoda and lemon.

These natural neutralizers can keep rot and bad smells at bay, giving you the upper hand in your cleaning routine. 

Doing so will help you avoid problems you will have to deal with later. And since we've already established your laziness...well.. you've got our point.

Many other tips and tricks can come in handy, such as using a squeegee in the shower to prevent water spots or keeping a small trash can in every room to encourage tidiness.

Unfortunately, we cannot mention them individually since we do not live with you under the same roof (and in light of your lazy nature - luckily for us...).

Reflect on your cleaning habits and consider how you can streamline them. The key to a tidy home is not just cleaning, but cleaning efficiently. You might be surprised at the innovative solutions you can come up with, inspiring you to take on your cleaning tasks with renewed motivation.

Remember, active cleaning is a cornerstone of our 'Lazy Person's Guide To Cleaning A Home.' By staying on top of your cleaning tasks, you can maintain a tidy home with ease, giving you the confidence that you can handle any cleaning challenge.
