I’ve just finished spring cleaning–my first time ever–and, if you’ve never cleaned your home in its entirety in one day–as I never have until today–let me tell you, it’s hard, hot, sweaty work. But I did it–though I’m sure I didn’t do it well–and, right now, I’m satisfied.

I began my spring cleaning by organizing boxes and bins containing my belongings, which further hammered home the point to me to consume more mindfully and intentionally, as opposed to being so impulsive with my purchases. After today, I will at least try to consider all of my nonessential purchases.

Another thing I will attempt to do is make spot cleaning–beyond washing dishes–a habit, so I’ll have less work to do with next year’s spring cleaning.

I will say that my home–especially my living room–looks a lot better than it did this morning before I started, and with that, I’m happy.
