Although being a perfectionist may sound great when you’re not one, the reality of being a perfectionist is often less than great. One of the life aspects where it can really get in the way is cleaning and maintaining your home. Perfectionists want everything to be spotless at any given moment, but it’s safe to say that’s an impossible task. Here’s how to stop stressing about everything being perfect and how to start doing it “good enough.”
Set a Timer
Have you ever put off cleaning the bathroom simply because you don’t have an hour to do it thoroughly like you’d like to? And then you get a call and have 15 minutes to make everything decent before a guest arrives and somehow you magically manage to do everything! You can do this every time by setting a timer for any task that needs to be handled and cleaning what you can before the timer goes off.
Don’t Wait For Perfect Conditions
It’s better to just tidy that closet already than to wait until you get the new set of matching hangers you’ve been wanting to buy for months. Be creative and use what you have; even some old cardboard boxes will help you with organization.
