THE FIVE-MINUTE RULE FOR A CLEAN AND TIDY HOME

Let’s be honest – sometimes life looks just like a labyrinth of various tasks and responsibilities. In those moments, we tend to procrastinate with cleaning our home, because we prioritize moments of rest and relaxation. Even though there’s nothing wrong with taking a well-deserved break, once the laundry basket is completely full, the dirty dishes become a part of your kitchen décor, and the dust rolls down the hallway like the tumbleweed in western movies – it becomes clear that it’s cleaning time. 

 “The five-minute rule”  

Luckily, there are innovative ways and ideas to make cleaning your home easier, even in those moments when everything else seems more tempting. One of the best pieces of advice we can give you is to try “the five-minute rule” in order to boost your productivity. The idea is to try to do things that you would otherwise avoid, by deciding to devote only (or at least) five minutes to them.

Five minutes doesn’t sound like a lot, right? What mostly happens is that, after five minutes, you still want to keep working until you complete the task. For example, if you decide to take only five minutes to vacuum the hallway, you’ll see that once you’re done with that room, you probably won’t stop there.

Small goals for long-term results

Another great strategy is to set small goals. For example, instead of cleaning the whole kitchen, you can start by focusing only on putting the dirty dishes in Tesla dishwasher – the device will do the rest for you. This can help you feel less overwhelmed, and make it easier to start doing whatever it is you should be doing.

Devices that make your life easier

On the other hand, if you lack initiative, what you can always do is include your home appliances in the process. If your goal is to vacuum the floors, take the vacuum cleaner out and place it somewhere you can see it, and don’t put it away until you use it. This is a sort of a subtle reminder, and a way to create a conducive environment for working. Also, if you’d like to improve your cleaning technique, think about using smart solutions, such as Tesla handstick or robot vacuum cleaners. Modern devices such as these can help you clean faster – or even clean by themselves – making house maintenance even easier.

Don’t forget that every little step makes a big difference, and that choosing the right cleaning device is quite important. These tips, combined with your own creativity, can result in a more efficient and more fun way to keep your home clean and tidy – even when you’re very busy!
