The dining table is a relatively large piece of furniture at home. Based on this, it is a priority. Because if there is nothing on a big dining table and it is as clean as new, the whole home will look bright and spacious.
The basic principle of keeping the desktop clean and tidy is to remember that nothing can be put except tableware when eating. Shopping bags, letters, key boxes, remote controllers, half-read newspapers and magazines, etc. Once put away carelessly, it will become a seed to attract sundries, and the table will instantly become a place to pile up sundries.
It will be put on the table first, mostly because it is troublesome to put it back immediately after use, or I don't know where to put it. The iron law of sorting out space is to start with "everything has its fixed position" and then carry out unremitting and continuous sorting, but these are ideal situations, and it is really not easy to start from scratch.
In fact, we just need to move the items on the table to other places first. But it is not indiscriminately moving to other places. Each item has an approximate place of use or related similar products. Kitchen, TV, like this, classified collection, in their own places. At least make sure everything stays where it belongs.
If there is not enough space, except for the things that need to be used immediately, the rest will be collected with extra empty boxes or paper bags at home. After that, the classification will be sorted out in detail.
Finishing is a laborious and time-consuming job, but cleaning is just a hands-on thing. It's not too late to sort out the details when we no longer hate cleaning. We'd rather start with something simple.
Start from cleaning the most rewarding place and regain the sense of accomplishment at home. Once you have confidence in cleaning, the more you clean, the better you feel, and naturally you will gradually have the motivation to clean seriously.
In addition, when everyone is used to the fact that the dining table should be empty, incredible changes have taken place. Things that used to be lying around will gradually attract other things, but once you take it for granted that you can't see anything on the table, even if there is only a cup of coffee or a pen on the table, it will make people feel uncomfortable and want to collect it. So I automatically got into the habit of cleaning up as soon as I saw it.
Moreover, wiping the empty dining table with a clean rag before or after meals will also make people feel happy. You can rub it from one end to the other, as bright as new. It only takes about 30 seconds. Don't knead the rag into a ball, fold it neatly into the palm of your hand, and then wipe it with a new side, which is more efficient. These are the basic methods of wiping things.
The most important thing is to concentrate and do it with your heart, even if it is only for 30 seconds. As long as you wipe it carefully from beginning to end and be careful not to leave any water marks, the table will become brighter and brighter, and the whole space will shine.
"30 seconds to clean the table" focuses on sorting the things on the table according to the places where they are used, and at least ensuring that everything is left in the waiting area. If you don't know where to put things, put them in an empty box or paper bag unless you need them at any time. Then clean it up carefully! Polish the table first, and then fold the rags neatly. It only takes 30 seconds to concentrate on cleaning them carefully.
