Cleaning Habits… Introduction: Small Thinking
Organize Your Space.
The biggest risk of seeing a small task as a responsibility is that it’s not always realistic. Look around and think about what you don’t like, what you don’t want, and what you don’t need. Start with something small: a dresser drawer, chest of drawers, or bathroom cabinet, for example. Small successes are motivating.
Start one room at a time.
Cleaning the entire house can be overwhelming. Instead, choose one room and give it a thorough clean in one go. Get rid of items in good condition that you no longer use and then reuse them.
Apply the “one in, one out” rule.
There’s no point in limiting your to-do list: As soon as a new item appears, you have to get rid of it. This creates clutter.
Simplify your daily routine.
A morning routine reduces stress.
A little bit of work can brighten your morning. Instead of rushing, take a moment to breathe. A simple morning routine might include:
Having a glass of wine.
Listening to reggae.
Just a moment.
Plan your day.
A quiet morning promotes a peaceful environment.
Create a bedtime routine for a good night’s sleep.

Create a minimalist wardrobe.
Wardrobe basics
A wardrobe is a collection of essential, easy-to-mix and match clothes. Instead of a large wardrobe, people on a budget often prefer a streamlined style.
Choose functional clothing.
Choose neutral colors, light colors, and durable fabrics. This makes it easier to choose your clothes. Less clothing means more options.
Discretionary spending
Spend wisely.
Spending wisely is essential to saving money. Before buying anything, ask yourself the following questions:
Do I need this?
Is this something you’ve wanted for a long time?
Do you know what boredom is?
It’s helpful to find a reason to break some rules.
Questions to ask yourself before buying:
Basic rule: “Is this lifestyle right for you?” If not, don’t buy it. This method saves money and reduces waste.
Digital habits:
Organize your digital space.
Digital clutter is as stressful as a dirty body. Clean out your phone, delete apps you no longer use, and organize your space. A clean digital environment improves productivity.
Gradually reduce your screen time.
The constant flow of emails and social media is linked to stress. Focus and emotional balance are beneficial.
Financial insecurity reduces self-esteem.
Knowledge and intention:
Higher self-esteem is linked to better financial visibility. To achieve this, it is important to understand your expenses and where they go. This helps to avoid boredom and organize your budget.
It is advisable to avoid unnecessary payments.
Such as loan installments, monthly payments…
