Let's say your home is a wreck. Like, things everywhere. Where do you start? How do you not get overwhelmed?
ETA: of course, this is totally hypothetical. Er, not really! Help me out ladies!
-
pick one room. put every stray thing on the bed (or sofa, or whatever) and go from there.
-
Definitely what @sloaneandpuffy said. For me, that room is usually the kitchen or the bedroom.
-
Start with one room and then work towards them all.
-
The first thing I do is fix the beds & then hit the dishes/kitchen. I know those are two totally different rooms but they always make me see an immediate difference so its encouraging to continue! Then I hit the living room, and then our bedroom & can use the bed for stray things like @sloaneandpuffy!
-
I start in the room with the least mess, finish and shut the door, move to the next, shut the door and I always work top down- Dust, surfaces, floor.
-
Shut the door, that's how I deal.
No seriously...I make a long list and cross things off, it makes me feel like I accomplished something even though I might not be able to see progress in the room itself.
-
I make the beds, then dishes and cleansing counter tops. Next up, I work on one project a day. Like, shredding old bills, filing papers, washing the sheets, etc. I also try to do one load of laundry a day.
-
Vacuuming makes everything better to begin with for me! Then, make the beds, kitchen, clean all table/surfaces and mirrors, take out the trash.
-
I make the needs first (even though I don't normally bother, it just feels like a big clean shot when it's fine) then I gather laundry and toss in a load. Next is collect any stray dishes Anne unload/load the dishwasher (um, I don't bother to rinse or anything if I am swamped, I just use the strongest setting.) Then kitchen counters and floor. Laundry switched when ready and dishwasher again. If I am having a hard time getting going I set a timer for 15 minutes and then take a 10 minute break.
-
Start with one room at a time. Or in my case one floor at a time.
-
I always start in the living room, easiest to pick up and the focal point of our house, once that looks clean I am modivated to tackle the kitchen..which is my least favorite one to pick up but the most important!
-
I start in one of the smaller rooms. Bedroom or bathroom...i always save the family room/kitchen for last because it's the most overwhelming. But then i also feel like "the rest of the house is clean, though...so i HAVE to do this one...."
