Obviously everybody can clean and cut clutter once in a while,but how to stay decluterred?How to turn house cleaning in a habit?That’s a hard one.I’m starting my challenge again.This time a have a strategy and a have devided the goal”keep a clean and well organized home” into some little subgoals which are completely achievable and within my reach.This is my method(I took it from organisedhome.com Check it,it’s full of usefull tips) :
“The Penicillin method, devised by online declutterer Ellen in MN, uses a Petri dish metaphor to get a grip on clutter. Imagine a Petri dish full of fuzzy brown mold spores. A researcher begins to apply small drops of penicillin to the dish. Each little drop clears a small circular area; soon, drop upon drop, the entire dish is cleared of the distasteful intruder.
So, too, with the Penicillin method of decluttering. Today, the declutterer clears the kitchen table. From this point, no matter how bad the clutter becomes elsewhere, the kitchen table is inoculated with Penicillin. Daily clutter checks make sure no clutter is permitted to return.
Next declutter session, the declutterer attacks the top of the buffet. Thinking “Penicillin!”, that clear space joins the kitchen table. Soon, the cleared areas link up, banishing clutter from the entire house.
By devoting declutter energies to retaining the Penicillin effect of each declutter session, the Penicillin method focuses the declutterer on prevention. The method is useful, creative, an works well to bring an entire house under control.”
Cool,huh?
