I have to admit that I actually enjoy keeping house, my house that is! I feel good when I'm doing chores around the place that I know will add to the comfort and cleanliness that will afford me a great place to spend my time and a place to relax and enjoy when I'm finished doing the housework!
What it's About
In this blog, I'll be writing down a lot of the things that I do to keep my home in good order. I'll be sharing some tips and tricks that have helped me over the years to make the work as easy, efficient and quick as possible without cutting corners of missing important parts out.
There are many daily chores that many people do that some find hard work while others find pretty easy. The trick is to figure out what the ones that are finding it easy are doing to make it easy and avoid doing the things that the ones that find it hard are doing to make it hard work!
Tools and Tricks
A lot of the jobs can be made easier by using the right tools for each job. That's a given but it's surprising just how many people miss that obvious point and give themselves a hard time by using the wrong tools or not having the right things to hand when they need them.
I'll talk about the tools I use for certain jobs and also the things that I have discovered over time that can make things a little easier where I can. I'll also talk about some of the home maintenance jobs I've done or I'm planning to do and how I did them or will do them.
So Much to Do
There are so many things that can and should be done around the house and the garden or yard for that matter. It can become a full-time job that's unpaid and often unappreciated by the rest of the family (unless I remind them) that can be quick and easy or long, drawn-out and difficult depending on how you do it.
On the flip side, a lot of what I do in the home I see as fulfilling and even enjoyable at times. So many of the tasks I perform are not chores to me, but more like a means to an end that have a payoff that makes me feel good. Not too many of my friends will agree with me there, but some do and you can bet they are the ones that are doing things the right way and making it easy on themselves instead of difficult and tough going.
So Little Time
How much time do you spend on housework each day? Does it feel like most of your spare time is used up doing chores?
Not me!
I don't spend all that much time keeping my house tidy and clean the way I like it, even though it all gets done well before lunchtime and I can sit back with a nice cup of coffee and enjoy the rest of my day.
How do I do that?
You'll need to read my blog posts as I reveal my secrets and tricks!
