A Simple Cleaning Method Gets the House Tidied Before the Coffee Is Ready
Keeping your home tidy doesn't require hours of cleaning every day. The new method, which can be translated as 'gap cleaning,' is based on utilizing those short moments, like when we're waiting for coffee to brew or water to boil, for a few minutes of housework.
Incorporates cleaning into the daily waiting periods.
The practice known as 'idle cleaning' in English suggests utilizing the naturally occurring waiting periods in daily life to complete small tasks.
Examples of this method include emptying the dishwasher while the coffee machine is running, wiping the counter while the food is heating, or putting away folded laundry while waiting on the phone.
At the core of this method is the principle of pairing a task to be done with an already existing habit. In this way, instead of setting aside separate time for cleaning, small tasks are dispersed throughout the day. As tasks that can be completed in a few minutes do not pile up, maintaining the order of the house becomes easier.
How is space cleaning applied to daily life?
While your coffee is brewing, tidy up the kitchen counter and sink.
As the water boils, put the clean dishes away in the cupboards.
While your meal is heating up in the microwave, clear the clutter on the table.
As the shower water warms up, wipe down the bathroom counter or any small spots on the mirror.
While waiting for the washing machine to finish, organize the dirty laundry basket.
When you're put on hold on the phone, fold the laundry or put things away in the room.
While your computer is booting up, remove unnecessary items from your work desk.
Initially, making use of just one or two waiting moments can ease the transition of this method into a habit. The goal is not to cram as much work as possible into a few minutes, but to utilize the time that is already being lost to complete a small task.
