These days 24 hours seem to be not enough to accomplish everything you
have to do so the entire day. If you're working full time, you have to
spend around 8 to 9 hours a day, sometimes longer. When you go home,
you need to take care of your household chores. If you have kids, it
becomes much harder since you have more people to take care of.
It is not surprising therefore if you find yourself getting burned out
and too tired to accomplish even your household chores. Nevertheless,
you should also know there are ways to make things more comfortable.
Consider the following:
1. Learn to schedule. When you're faced with a lot of tasks besides
tending the home, it's only right to come up with a good schedule—and
make sure that you're going to stick to it.
2. Prioritize. There are actually certain chores that you don't have
to do every day. For example, you can consider having your laundry
every other day or twice a week. Gardening can be accomplished during
the weekends. You can change the linens once a week or every two
weeks. In the Internet you can download a form that you can use to
help you schedule and prioritize your list of chores.
3. Ask others to help you. If you have children, you can train them to
be responsible at early point in life by delegating simple household
tasks to them. You may help you whip those ingredients or set the
table. You can teach them how to arrange their beds on their own. In
fact, you can ask your husband to help around the home, especially
during the weekends. He can take care of repairs and maintenance.
4. Consider hiring a cleaner. There are several cleaners that are
ready for serve you. You can definitely find one whose rates fit your
budget. You can call them whenever you really don't have a lot of time
to take care of your home. On the other hand, you are able to provide
a source of livelihood for someone.
5. Put things into their proper places. It's interesting how much time
you can save just by returning the items into their right places.
Magazines should be back on racks. Return to dressers the wardrobes
you haven't utilized. Place unclean dresses into the laundry bins.
6. Enjoy. One of the reasons why you feel so tired when it comes to
cleaning is you never really associate household chores with
enjoyment. They are tasks too burdensome to handle. Learn to enjoy
them. You may play upbeat music while cleaning.
7. Encourage yourself. You can use subliminal messages to help you
motivate yourself into cleaning. Subliminal messages may be
affirmations, such as "I am proud to live in a clean home" or "I can
provide a clean environment for my family" can definitely encourage
you to be more effective in cleaning. You can speak the subliminal
messages at least a few hours before cleaning or even while you're
doing it.
