I'm usually too busy to have time, so I finally find some time to do my own thing, but housework accounts for more than half.
Thinking of myself in 996, I finally took a day off and couldn't sleep the night before.
As a result, the next day, I made the bed, folded the quilt, cleaned the room, swept the floor, and washed clothes. After four hours, I was exhausted.
After four o'clock, the children left school, and when they came back, the time was no longer mine. So it seems that I have a day off, and it only takes two hours. I have no time to do my own thing.
After I resigned last year, the first thing I did was to find a dozen books about sorting out and breaking up, hoping to find a way to change my life.
As a result, I found a way to reduce the cleaning time from four hours to 40 minutes.
In The Sorting Magic of Heartbeat Life, Miss Marie Kondo divides sorting into holiday sorting and daily sorting.
Ms. Eiko Yamashita of Separation divides housework into evening housework, morning housework and weekend housework.
The methods shared by the above two teachers have the habit of * * * communication:
First, the used things should be put back in their original places, and each item has its own place. Send it home when it's used up.
Second, they all insist on the habit of slimming down the house and sorting out the separation.
Third, sorting and cleaning are done separately.
Why do you emphasize these?
Imagine cleaning ourselves. I spent four hours cleaning. I swept away the toys for my son, picked up smelly shoes and socks, put the little things back in their original places, and cleaned up the desktop. ...
Did you find that sorting and cleaning are mixed?
So the time will drag on for a long time, and there is another disadvantage. Because I am very tired and I have been doing it for a long time, I have a headache when I think about it, and I don't want to do it.
And the teacher's method is? After finishing, cleaning is what you have to do every day. Sweep the floor when you say it, and wash the dishes when you say it It takes about half an hour to do two or three things at a time, which is easy and easy.
I learn from their ideas, and in the process of practice, I gradually stick to the habit of cleaning the whole family once a week and once a day.
Fix a day when all family members are there as a cleaning day, list all the housework to be done, divide the work and do it together.
Once a week, the rest of the daily cleaning will be much easier, such as washing dishes, sweeping the floor, washing clothes, cleaning up a little, and it will soon be fine.
In addition, I have to say: there are children at home, so there are many things like toys, and children play in a mess.
I did three things about our children's toys:
First, set up a play area for children. The place can be small, but it must be there.
For example, my baby likes to stand by the bed and play on the windowsill, so I put a toy box on the windowsill for him and put his latest favorite toys on it.
All the other toys are put away and put in a fixed place. He looked for them and then went to get them. Tell him to take out one and try to put back one he doesn't want to play with.
This involves the second point: change the toys he needs regularly, and don't have too many toys in the toy area. If the family is small, you can do this, but it doesn't matter if it is big.
Clean up directly in the place where he plays, which will be easier to operate and execute.
Third, cultivate him to form the habit of cleaning up after playing well. The formation of any habit is not something he can remember at once, but he should keep saying and constantly strengthen his awareness of cleaning up.
At first, I read stories about packing with the help of picture books every day and encouraged him to collect toys himself. Every time he does it, he will be praised, hugged and kissed, and praised for his ability.
I also want to say it in front of the whole family at the dinner table, so from everyone's feedback, he feels proud of doing it and has established his self-confidence in this respect, so he is very motivated to do it.
Children's toys are not littered, repetitive work is reduced by more than half, and housework is more worry-free.
Finally, what kind of living environment do you want, you have to pay the corresponding time and energy.
For example, I used to see other people's homes spotless, and I blamed myself every time there was chaos at home.
Now, I am completely relieved that time and energy are limited and it is impossible to work hard on spotless. Then I'll accept having a home of about 75 points, and I won't be able to do it once in a while.
As long as you can keep your home clean and tidy most of the time. As for spotless is not my ultimate pursuit, I'll let myself go.
Cleanliness is a daily achievement and a practice of life. Now I see that the environment at home has become orderly and I trust myself more and more.
