Having a mess
free, well organised house is an ever elusive dream for many. It is that
coveted position that many can’t really reach. To add to the chaos there are
endless videos on: My daily cleaning routine, 30 ideas to a well organised
kitchen, Cleaning hacks etc..
Now these
videos raise the bar so high that it puts many on a guilt trip. Hence I thought
of writing a blog doing a reality check. The fact that you are even reading
this article means there are chances that you are either grappling with
organising your home or are looking for some motivation to do so.

Set realistic goals:
Please do not
set your standard so high that they cannot be met. A lot depends on which your
life cycle, routine, responsibilities and the actual time spent in your house.
If you have toddlers and babies in the house, your priority is to ensure they
are safe, well fed and looked after and NOT really having a well organised
house. If you spend several hours out of the house I wonder how much time can
be dedicated in organisation/cleaning etc. If you have all grown up in the
house and well abiding to a routine then perhaps you have a higher chance of
having a neat, clean and well organised house.
