The order in the apartment, in the garage, on the desktop speaks not only of the neatness and cleanliness of a person. Order or, conversely, disorder in the house can be a direct reflection of the life situation. Moreover, this relationship is also retroactive. Therefore, wishing to put things in order in your life, it is worth starting with a general cleaning of the apartment.
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start cleaning your apartment, assess the scale of the work ahead. Don't try to get all the work done in one day. But do not postpone cleaning "until tomorrow", every day finding a new reason for this. Get in the habit of tidying up at least one drawer a day, one shelf in your closet. Decide in which area of your life you would like to put things in order. And as you clean up your apartment, remind yourself, "I'm clearing my way to … good work / warm relationships, and so on."
Step 2
Collect those things that make you feel bad or that are associated with difficult periods in your life that negatively affect your self-esteem. These can be gifts from people who, for one reason or another, have become unpleasant to you. Get rid of these things without regret. There are many ways to do this - to donate things to orphanages, shelters, nursing homes. You can also offer people to buy these things for a nominal fee or take them free of charge. This can be done on the sites avito.ru, olx.ru and many others. Review the books in your home library. As a rule, after reading a book, we put it on the shelf and never come back to it. Leave only those books that you consider to be desk books, and take others to the nearest district library. If you suddenly want to read a book, you can borrow it from the library for a while. Books will not gather dust on the shelves, but with the help of the library they will fulfill their purpose - to carry knowledge. Your home will free up space and breathe easier, because books are great dust collectors. And in a house where there are many books, it is very often necessary to do wet cleaning. Disassemble things that are stored in the mezzanine, in the boxes on the balcony, in the garage. It seems that they are not visible, which means there is no problem. In fact, deposits of these unnecessary things are reflected in life in general. Answer yourself honestly to the question of how many years these things have already lain on the mezzanine and have not been useful. And give them a second life.
Step 3
After finishing general cleaning in the house, start cleaning up your life. Note that these two cleanings have a lot in common. And just as unnecessary things litter your home, so unnecessary emotions, resentments and complexes litter your life. And the principle of cleaning here and there is about the same. It is necessary to disassemble the rubble consistently and daily. To clean up your life, start with a notebook. We very often waste precious time on communication that we do not need - 5 minutes to talk about anything with a meaningless person, half an hour to discuss in ICQ with those whom we have never seen before, and then another couple of hours on correspondence in social networks. As a result, real life and loved ones are deprived of time and care. Prioritize communication, organize your contacts. Rewrite your notebook, review the list of contacts in ICQ …
Step 4
As you free up time, do not forget about time for yourself. To put things in order in your life, you must definitely devote at least half an hour a day to yourself. There is a lot to do in this half hour. First, make a list of "junk" that will not come in handy in life. Believe me, you definitely do not need old grievances, gossip, envy, anger, pessimism … When sorting out the rubble of your inner world, ask yourself the question: “What is the use of this character trait to me? And in this offense? And in my capacity? " Having found out what qualities will not be useful to you in life, start working to eliminate them.
Step 5
Do business planning for yourself. As at work, each employee draws up a work plan for the day, week, month, six months and a year, you should also act in relation to putting things in order in your life. Take the time and make a plan for what needs to be done first, and what needs to be done a little later. The plan must also list global tasks - for a year, for five years and for a lifetime. You need to constantly remind yourself of your goals. And not only small ones, but also great ones. This life plan should not be static - from time to time it needs to be revised, corrected, points added, completed, etc.
