CHAT - Spring Cleaning
Hey everyone!
It's that time of year again, time to do a little cleaning and a little organising
When cleaning, organising or trying to do anything it can be hard to stay focused...
So join us here tonight at 7:30pm AEDT (remember, it's daylight savings now!!!) for a chat about cleaning, organising and some life hacks and tips on getting things done.
I'm missing that old cozy chat rooms... Especially chatting with my old friends here. I lost my old account, so I created a new one. Unfortunately, now I haven't much time to spend on myself. But I would like to talk about various lifehacks, not necessarily about cleaning. Lifehacks help me a lot, but sometimes I have to call professionals, such as carpet restoration service. Maybe I should create some new lifehacks and tips about that services 🙂 I wonder if you plan to start a new chat this week. I would glad to join you.
Tonight is all about organisation, planning and life hacks 😉 Thanks for joining us here!
If at all you find this conversation distressing or you feel like you need to talk to someone, about an issue then it's time to get some help! You can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800 or use their webchat and email services found on their respective sites. The links can be found here.
If you are new here then welcome! Have a quick peek at our community guidelines you can find them here!
Letting you guys know once again that GR is on! 🙂 @roseisnotaplant @j95 @nc_reachout13 @honky @BunnyWalks
First question of the night....
When is the last time you spring cleaned? Describe what you did
When is the last time you spring cleaned? Describe what you did
Haha @FootyFan26, when I start climbing underneath the bed and coughing, I know I've left it too long XD
Feel like joining us @Esperanza67?
Next Question...
What are some of the benefits of spring cleaning?
Thanks for the invite @RevzZ!
What motivates you to start cleaning?
When other people (especially my mum) tell me to do so haha
- Feeling weighed down/overwhelmed with having too much clutter and things I don't really need or want
- Seeing other people's spaces that are less cluttered
- Thinking about travelling or moving and how difficult it would be to pack everything up quickly
- Watching YouTube vids about cleaning/organising/minimalism journeys (I've watched waay too many of these.....)
Oh god @FootyFan26, house inspections? What are they like, since I'm planning on moving out soon so I'm guessing I might have to run into it sometime? My dad owns an investment property and I did go with him before but he's never done a house inspection except before and after tenants move in and out.
What are some of your tips for staying on task?
- I like @redheads idea of listening to some good tunes and
- Doing one thing at a time
- Having constant breaks
- Snacks every now and then
- Trying to minimise how many times you have to leave the room so taking all the things that need to go to a certain room all at the same time instead of once you find something, taking it straight there.
Break it down into chunks, eg scrub the bathroom, clean stove/oven, organise part of your room and keep building on it.
Or do it to your favourite tunes.
Definitely breaking it down into tasks as @redhead mentioned. Often I make an enormous mess and then feel overwhelmed by it and give up....so avoid that I would say 😛 Making to-do lists with really small and achievable things should be helpful 🙂
