The LAZY Day Cleaning Routine

A Lazy day? Yes, many of us have been there. Yet some might be wondering what I mean by that.

A lazy day can be both planned and unplanned.

A planned inactive day is when you take a day off from the workload you have been tied up with for days.

While an unscheduled dull time – when you’re fatigued.

As I said, a lot of us go through laziness. Nothing wrong with that. It’s natural to feel lazy when we are exhausted (thanks to greater responsibilities), stressed, or ill.

I agree, cleaning can be overwhelming when the mess is huge (since it is labour-intensive).

But what if it only takes 15 minutes to get the house back in order?

Then it might sound doable.

Yes, spending barely 15 minutes of your entire day to get a small portion done ensures your tomorrow is a little comfortable. That you won’t get weighed down with the previous day’s chaos.

Here’s what you can achieve in just 15 minutes to prevent regret and stress later on after enjoying your lazy day.

This is a quick 3-step tidy-up routine that can help restore order and peace in your home while still relishing your lazy, relaxing time.

1| Load/unload dishwasher

Empty the dishwasher (if you haven’t yet). Load dirty dishes.

Get the sink cleared of any pots and pans. Wash them quickly and get them out of the way.

2| 2-minute pickup busy areas:

Here we are mostly going to focus on the main living areas — the living room and the bedroom.

Set the timer for 2 minutes per room. Try to round off as much as you can.

Put away toys in the toy bin.

Collect dirty laundry in one place.

Carry a basket/bag with you to collect out-of-place items.

Quickly straighten up the cushions and blankets on the couch.

For the bedroom, set the bed.

3| Sweep/Vacuum:

Lastly, sweep or vacuum crumbs on the kitchen and living room floor, real quick.

That’s all.
