Time spent cleaning feels like time wasted that could be used doing something fun. When cleaning is viewed as a chore instead of as an aspect of family life, the person stuck with cleaning feels imprisoned.

Clean one room a day – Don’t overwhelm yourself by thinking about the entire house. But make it a rule: Don’t leave the room until you’re done. Your home will be sparkling clean in no time.

It seems to be one of the hardest things to “let go.” It may be one of the hardest to let go, but once we do (and correct me if I’m wrong here) it’s one of the biggest burdens lifted. I used to have a housekeeper come to my houses three or four times per month. That’s no longer an economic reality anymore (and I don’t think I’m alone on that one). If we do work, a lot of times it’s to keep the insurance coming in. Even when I was at the top of my game, when things got a little tight around the purse strings, the housekeeper visits were the first to be cut back or stopped. It’s kind of funny because we a...
