As a tribute to Labor Day, I am just recalling a conversation the other day with a close friend. She was lamenting because she and her roommate have had to spend a great deal of time cleaning up their apartment. I empathized because I can never seem to get motivated myself.
Unfortunately as long as I have known her, her apartment has never been clean. I guess the most important thing to remember is that it doesn't have to happen overnight, as long as it happens.
There is a lot of subconscious stress on the psyche when we are surrounded by clutter and "tasks" that need to be performed.
My sister does a load of laundry a day to keep up and not be over run by dirty clothes laying around. I have decided to clean one room a day and write a list of repairs or ideas I have for each room. This makes the remodeling and cleaning of my house less ominous and actually a bit more fun.
So this weekend? To labor or not....Enjoy your family and friends!!! If they want to help clean go for it...if not, go to the beach. Tuesday everything will be waiting for you when you get back.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend,
Best,
Thomas
