keep my house cleaner

I am so depressed about my house. It’s so dirty. I never used to be like this. I know that part of it is my depression. I take one look at the mess, and don’t know where to start. My paper work is out of control.

A woman at work told me about this site.

I clean up, and in 3 months it’s dirty again. Paperwork scattered from hell to breakfast.

What works for you guys?

Ok so I admit it…..my house can get pretty messy at times. Between working so much and then homework with my son…dinner…bath… story and bed I dont have alot of time. But Im moving into a house in 3 weeks and I am vowing to keep this house clean!!!!! :-)

We only started monday but so far so good and once its clean, it’ll be easier to keep that way. YAY for us!!

I think this is part of the problem. I dont have a routine and its not overly healthly for my 3yr old either. Havent been feeling the best lately so my house is in EXTREME mess. Thank goodness i have a great friend that has come up to stay who is feeling really motivated at the moment. Next step is to keep it clean from the level its at and sort out my junk, stuff, bits, c**P and have another throw out. I say i really want to do this but dont seem to be taking the steps to actually do it.

End of rant.

I’m still picking up in behind myself. I actually like coming on to a clean house.

My house has remained spotless since jan 01,2009. I guess it not so bad when you make an effort to pick up behind yourself.

This one benefits not only me but my husband who loves a clean house more than anyone I know. It doesn’t take a whole lot of effort, just a little effort every day which I know will make my life a lot easier and happier and my husband will be happier which again makes me happier….

to do this. I did a one on one course for what works for me in terms of getting my house clean and breaking it down so that i have an even amount of work to do each day rather than stress myself out one day a week.

I have improved greatly.

I’ve been having limited success at this by following Fly Lady. (flylady.com) The real big thing I like is the ‘you can do anything for 15 minutes’ rule. Somedays, I only clean for 15 minutes, others I clean for several sets of 15 minutes. My house is slowly getting into place. I’m also hoping to reduce the amount of stuff I have by using ‘27 boogie flings’. When I move next month I’m hoping the moving less stuff will make it easier to keep clean.

Wishing and doing are not quite the same, I really like the “Clean House, Clean Sweep, Mission Organization” tv shows, I wish it were me, let’s hope it soon will be.
