Routine household chores and brainless organization
Clean up once a day and tidy up once a week to establish a “household routine”.
Normalization
When life and family affairs are on track, it will in turn become a joy of life.
The most effective way is to achieve a certain degree of “routinization.”
Daily formula for maintaining tidiness
The reason why cleaning is hard is because the dirt has accumulated over a while.
Roughly determine the items to be carried out regularly every day, every week, and every month. Deciding the “place” and “frequency” in advance can make you feel more relaxed.
By creating a visual “cleaning routine”, you can get rid of the irritability of “having to find time to clean there.”
As long as you “clean one area a day that you don’t normally clean” during daily cleaning, the entire home will be noticeably clean.
As long as you clean one place every day, your mood will not be so heavy. If you decide the place according to your motivation that day, you can easily persevere.
When you have extra energy, you might pull out all the kitchen drawers and tidy them up. When you’re busy, you can simply wipe down the handrails on the steps.
Weekly cleaning is scheduled on weekends.
In addition, washing machines, bathroom drain holes, bathtub heaters, etc. will be cleaned once a month.
When you are tired, just sort out what you care about
When you feel that cleaning is not enough and you are not in a good mood, just sort out the “places you care about most” in your home.
As long as you prioritize the areas you care about, your mood will naturally become lighter.
Try to let family members share the work at home, rather than working alone.
Annual inventory of items at home
1. When you have the idea of organizing a place, take out all the items there.
2. After taking out unnecessary items, gather them in one place first.
3. Clean the inside of the cabinet and put it back into the storage box. At this time, if I think of a more convenient arrangement method, I will change the position of the storage box.
4. Store according to the frequency of use, and place the most commonly used ones in the most convenient place to take them out.
5. Carefully examine the items left behind after storage to confirm whether they are needed at home.

Items will deteriorate over time, and it is also quite sad for the items until they deteriorate or become no longer usable.
So even if it is a good thing, rather than being completely useless and just sitting there gathering dust, I think it might be better to take it to a second-hand store or auction it off online and let others put it to good use.
“Not every item has to die in its own hands.”
As long as you keep this idea in mind, it will be much smoother when disposing of items.
Items hanging in the air make cleaning easier
The more items there are in the kitchen and bathroom, the easier it is to get moldy and the more difficult it is to clean, so it is even more important to implement “suspended storage”.
For example, it is necessary to avoid placing items directly on the sink. In this way, as long as the moisture is quickly wiped off every day, scale will not be generated and the kitchen and bathroom space can be maintained hygienic and fresh at all times.
Next, inside the bathroom, soaps use a “magnetic non-stick soap holder”, and detergents and facial wash supplies are all “wall-storage” with suction cups or Velcro felt.
The most troublesome thing when cleaning is not the cleaning itself, but the “moving of items” before cleaning.
As long as these efforts can be saved, the psychological burden of “there are still household chores to be done” can be alleviated.
