To avoid stress in the evening: simple chores that are best done in the morning
If you didn’t know this yet, then we hasten to surprise you: how neat and clean a house looks directly affects not only our psycho-emotional state, but also our health. Well, no one will simply like the atmosphere of clutter and chaos - all this will put pressure on inner comfort, gradually displacing calm and filling us with irritability and anxiety.
If you are a working person and spend almost the whole day in an office/factory/at a cash register/in an ambulance cabin/other (underline as appropriate), then you definitely want to return to a cozy home filled with fresh air and sparkling with cleanliness. However, even when you are too busy for daily cleaning, you can develop certain habits that will help keep your home tidy. To do this, you just need to carry out simple and short procedures in the morning, so that when you come home you can enjoy your rest, and not take up a rag and polish the shelves.

Ventilate the rooms
There is nothing easier than opening the windows in all rooms after waking up - ventilation is really good not only for your health, but also for your home. Fresh air helps to quickly cheer up, prevents dust from settling, and fights harmful microorganisms.
Thanks to this simple procedure, the atmosphere will be light and pleasant - a fresh smell will appear and it will become easier to breathe.
Ventilation should be carried out every morning, even in winter, when it is frosty outside. This will help to slightly humidify the air in the room, which is often dry due to heating radiators and additional heaters.
Make the bed
This is also a fairly easy task, to which you can accustom not only yourself, but also all the residents of the house - both adults and children. An unmade bed is quite unsightly and, of course, spoils the visual perception of the room as a whole. In fact, you will spend no more than three minutes on this, but when you come home in the evening, you will definitely appreciate the benefits of such a simple solution - a mountain of pillows and blankets does not spoil the appearance of the room and the room itself generally looks tidy.
If you're too lazy to constantly deal with bedding accessories, you can buy a large bedspread to throw on without worrying too much about every wrinkle on the bed.
To wash the dishes
This habit will be useful not only in the morning, but also in the evening. Try to get used to the idea that the sink should always be empty. It’s quite easy to wash all the dishes before going to bed so that in the morning you can enjoy your coffee in a pleasant environment, and not be irritated by a mountain of dirty kitchen utensils.
But as for the morning procedure, when leaving for work, wash the cups, plates and cutlery - in the evening you will definitely thank yourself for wasting two miserable minutes on this event in the morning.
Put things away
Applies to those wardrobe items in which you sleep or walk around the house in the morning - home clothes. You shouldn’t scatter it all over the room, but it’s better to fold it neatly right away. Even if you're in a hurry, take a minute to bring at least minimal order to your room.
Take out the trash
And this is quite simple. When you go out, grab the bag from the bucket and throw it away on your way to work.Remember that if the garbage is just falling out, it can also lead to an unpleasant odor throughout the house - well, who would like that. By the way, in most cases the phrase “I’ll take it out in the evening” remains just words - after work we definitely forget about it due to fatigue or simply a head full of other thoughts.
Everything that is listed is not a complete list of quick morning tasks that will help you return to a clean house and not clutch your head in horror - it’s a mess. It is quite acceptable to neatly fold your shoes in the hallway before leaving, wipe the mirror in the bathroom (while brushing your teeth), remove unnecessary items from the countertop (while the kettle is boiling) and many other little things that take a minimum of time, but bring great benefits not only to us, but also our home.
