Quick Cleaning Tips: Something To Consider

How much is your time worth?

I will admit that I hate cleaning. Yes, I'm a professional organizer who hates cleaning! I just don't find peace in vacuuming or scrubbing toilets. I'll do the dishes, the laundry and other weekly tasks but I realized that the mopping and dusting was just not my thing.

With this realization of my intense dislike of deep cleaning, I decided to consider hiring someone to come clean my home. I took into account how many hours it takes me to do deep cleaning tasks, what I could be doing instead (i.e. working, resting, spending time with family), and my negative mental state that automatically appears when I "have to clean."

I couldn't put a price on my peace of mind and figured out that my budget could handle this extra expense. Thus, I decided to forget the cleaning checklists and hire someone to come clean my home once a month. I was referred to an angel who is trustworthy and does a fantastic job for a splendid price.

Next time you are struggling with a bucket of soapy liquid, consider what your time is worth.
