Good morning and welcome back to Worth In Progress's Advent Calendar 2023! It's already the 15th, which means that it's time to open the 15th door.
The door reveals...
A quick home refresh how-to!
Doing a quick clean not only clears your mind and makes you feel productive, but it also makes your home look better. You don't need long to do this - 5 minutes might be enough - yet the effect can be remarkable! Here's how to do it:
- Set a timer for 5 minutes.
- Get a large garbage bag and throw everything old, broken, non-recyclable, and dead in there. You can even go crazy and throw some trash in! Then go ahead and get that bag out of your home and into the trash bin outside.
- Declutter. Instead of having this lying around, put them in specific places - the bookcase, cabinets, boxes, drawers, baskets, and trays. This way you'll clear out your surfaces, and by clearing out your surfaces, you create a serene space.
- Light a scented candle or use a room fragrance to freshen up the scent.
If you have more than five minutes, feel free to also dust, beat your rugs, and wipe your windows and floors. But that sounds like so much work that I don't know who could do it without a mug of eggnog in hand and good playlist in the background.
