As web designers, finding ways to save time and reduce stress is always needed. This week’s newsletter is about a simple change that can make a big difference in your daily life: hiring a house cleaner.

Habit of the week:

Hire a house cleaner

Whether it's a deep clean once a year or regular weekly visits, having someone else take care of your household chores can free up hours of your time—time that you can redirect towards your work, your ambitions or your time off.

Why it matters:

Cleaning can add up, consuming hours that could be spent on more productive or enjoyable activities. By delegating this task, you enhance your home's cleanliness and reclaim time for your work and your downtime.

Quick Start Guide:

  1. Determine Your Needs: Assess how often you need cleaning services—weekly, biweekly, monthly, or annual deep cleaning.
  2. Find the Right Service: Look for reputable cleaning services in your area with good reviews and fair prices.
  3. Set a Schedule: Coordinate with your chosen service to set a cleaning schedule that works for you and your family.

Cami's Tips

  • Small Steps: Hire for one-time cleanings until you find the right fit for your budget and needs.
  • Ask for Referrals: Check with your neighbors and friends for a trusted referral for cleaning.
  • Evaluate the Benefits: After a few sessions, evaluate how this change has impacted your productivity and stress levels.
  • Make a Plan for Maintenance: Once the place is clean, do your best to keep it that way. Don't forget to get the whole family involved.

Routine Checkpoint:

Remember, investing in your keeping your surrounding clean and organized will save you time.

Consider the difference having a cleaner makes in your life after a couple of months. Is your work more focused? Are you enjoying your free time more? Is your family happier?
