Okay, what happened to the leopard that fell into the washing machine?
- He came out spotless!
(Audience Laughing)...
Mridu Parikh here and sorry about that, but that was my lame attempt to try to make this
not so exciting topic a little more humorous.
But it is one that needs to be done all the time,
the laundry!
So here are the top 5 tips to make this chore a little less overwhelming.
Tip#1) Get caught up.
Seriously, if you're behind in your laundry,
I want you to block-out a day or several evening this week so that you are totally caught up.
You need to get over that overwhelming cycle and get unto a routine, but you can never
get there until you get caught up.
So dedicate time this week so you get there.
Tip#2) Do smaller loads more often.
Let's face it. It's already a dreaded task,
so the more you let it pile up, the more overwhelming it seems at the end of the week.
Instead, throw in a low in everyday or every other day a small load so it's less overwhelming and there's less pile up.
Tip#3) Pick a consistent time of your day that you throw in your laundry.
So maybe it's first thing in the morning or maybe it's after breakfast or after dinner.
But make it a consistent routine so that way again, you don't dreaded as much, it's easier
to maintain and it becomes a routine habit.
Tip#4) If you have kids, use a separate laundry bag, basket or hamper for each of their room
so that their clothes can be washed separately.
This way you can fold them separately and keep them sorted.
So you don't have to spend the time sifting through all their socks to try to separate them!
Urrgggghh!
Tip#5) If you have kids, teach them to put away their own laundry.
Now you may not agree with this but I think if your child is about 7 or older then
he or she is old enough to put away their clothes.
One of my biggest recommendations of keeping families organized is to delegate.
And this chore teaches your kids great responsibility and also puts good habits in place.
So here's your challenge for this week.
Implement at least one of these tips into your laundry routine this week.
