Speaking of cleaning

[The People]

We have been switching a lot lately and have physical health issues that started after we moved in here (well got worse). But mostly it is the head issue. I can find things online that give you ways to stay tidy. Some things I did were
- got rid of extra set of flatware (had 3 after flood) and extra dishes. We don't entertain but avoid dishes. They would pile and pile... by getting rid of extras the piles are not so high or overwhelming.
- Finally getting around to putting bills online. That way we know what has been paid and we don't find 3 power bills on floor without knowing what has been paid. Work in process.

Still a way to go. Not looking for long list. Just some 5 minute fixes that help people. We also increased # of garbage cans so that less ends up on floor. Empty them when we put out main garbage with litter scoop.

Um, if you are OCDish about cleaning I don't mean to be mean but we might get overwhelmed. The mother was like that and we were supposed to keep up.

Sounds like you're doing what you need to do, which is a Good Thing.

We do not cleaning either. But we have to have orderliness (neatness) or we go nuts.

Hope that the steps that you've taken are helpful for you.

hate cleaning. love living in a clean space. if money allowed, the best solution would be a cleaner . till that glorious day, we make sure any important communication comes via email (so there is a searchable record all in the same place) and all bills are paid by direct debit (as those that aren't may disappear).

we periodically try to set up some kind of schedule for cleaning, but this hasn't really been implemented so not sure whether it works or not..

I think scheduling only works for certain personality types. I do remember learning a poem about wash our clothes on Monday etc. Never did make sense. I am working toward a better me. That is the best I can do.

We're great with devising a plan but lousy at implementing it.

Some people love making schedules. I even suck at that!
