Housework = Workout
Too cold for 6am workouts? Too dark for an evening run? Well put on your favorite station on the radio and get your workout in at home! Dusting, vacuuming, mopping and scrubbing are all options to burn calories. Not just in your body but in your home as well. Purging all the unnecessary items in your house is the first start to getting your house healthy and clean.
Less Clutter = Less Mildew
Did you know, the more stuff you cram in your closets the more likely it is you'll have issues with mildew during the winter months? To limit the amount of mildew get rid of all the items you don't use, like those extra bins full of random stuff that "one day you will use". Purge clothes you have not worn in 6 months, go through all your glassware and limit it down to what you use mostly, throw away the millions of blankets and sheets that are collecting dust in your linen closet. Doing all these steps will help you feel good about your house and your house will be cleaner!
Staying Home is More Fun If It's Clean
In the winter we all tend to not want to be out and about in the cold. Use the time to brighten up and declutter your living spaces. Take half an hour and wipe down the furniture surfaces, folding and putting away laundry and placing your household items in the correct place. If you have pictures on your fridge, try taking those down and placing them somewhere else like inside the pantry door and see how calming the kitchen feels.
By the end of winter your house will be all tidy and you won't have to waste away your days in the spring getting your house in order. You will be able to enjoy more time outdoors and with your family!
