Here are a few more dos and don’ts to consider:

  • Don’t stress over it. Do what you can, when you can, and use whatever motivational tools (Sweet Success) you have at your disposal.
  • Don’t skip it.* Do reap the invigorating benefits of having clean baseboards, walls, or whatever else you decide to clean. 
  • Don’t hire it all out unless you have to. Do participate if you can. There’s something mentally freeing about getting rid of dirt and clutter.
