Does having a clean house actually matter like in the grand scheme of things?

Does it make a difference in your life? Is it really a big deal if you just let the

dishes go and the laundry go and just do it every now and then? Do you have to have a clean and tidy house all the time or is it kind of overkill?

That's what we're talking about in today's podcast.

Hey clutterbugs, welcome back to the clutterbug

podcast.

We're talking about if you should care, why you should care, why it's important to make having a tidy and organized home a priority.

I went a really long time in my life, not seeing the point. Why would I do the dishes every day just to have to wash them

again tomorrow? They just get dirty again. Why not just wait and do them all on the weekend? Why do laundry all the time? I'm just going to wear the

clothes and get them dirty again. Wait till I run out of clean underwear and then do the laundry when I have to. And then after I had kids, they're so messy and there was toys everywhere. I'd pick it up, it would get messy again the next day. I'm like, this is crazy pants. I'm not cleaning the toys until I have to like if somebody's coming over or something.

Because it felt like extra work just for the sake of working and I didn't know why I should care. I told myself it really didn't bother me and it wasn't that big of a deal and people live in houses and houses get messy and stop and maybe you can relate to this and I I didn't

understand the correlation between my environment and all the other aspects of my life until I started getting tidy.

I knew that it bothered me a little bit to have a messy house, mostly when people came over,

I'd be really embarrassed, but it didn't bother me enough to do anything about it on a regular basis.

Sometimes I'd like rage clean because I would get so like, would just be too much you know and I

lose my crap and I'd start throwing things in garbage bags and like shoving and

hiding and cleaning and then two days later would be a mess again and I'd say,

see why I don't do this all the time, this is ridiculous.

Like, look, I worked so hard and I didn't even get to enjoy it that long.

And I really stopped doing it on a regular basis because I didn't see the benefit,

the real benefit to keeping it clean until it started staying clean and then I noticed some crazy impact.

So I want to talk about why you should care today.
