Keeping the house clean from basic tasks
Sunday is not only a day off but also an important "cushion" to help rearrange the rhythm of life before entering a new working week. Instead of waiting until the house is messy to clean up at full capacity, maintaining small habits on weekends will help the space stay in a stable state, significantly reducing mental pressure.
One of the most important things on Sunday is to wash blankets, sheets, clothes and fabrics. In hot and humid climates, periodic changing helps limit mold and unpleasant odors, while improving sleep quality. Not only blankets and sheets, items such as pillow covers, foot mats or handkerchiefs also need to be cleaned regularly to keep the living environment cleaner.
Besides, the refrigerator is an area that is easily forgotten but directly affects health. Checking and removing spoiled food, rearranging vegetables and wiping trays helps limit bacteria, and also helps you easily plan meals for the new week.
Living space also needs to be "renovated" by handling less noticed areas such as bedsides, cabinet tops or sofa slots. Experts recommend that it is not necessary to clean the entire area at the same time but should be divided into smaller sections by week to avoid feeling overloaded.
Create a neat foundation for the new week
The kitchen area and the desk are two spaces that directly affect the rhythm of life and work efficiency. Cleaning the sink, changing dishes, and drying the cooking area helps the kitchen always be bright, clean, and ready for the new week.
Finally, rearranging the desk or study corner before the end of Sunday has a very effective "resetting" effect. A neat desk surface, without messy paperwork, helps reduce distractions, creating a more proactive feeling when starting a new working week.
Dr. Claudia Miller - an environmental medicine expert at the Texas Health Science Center (USA), said: "A well-organized living space not only helps reduce dust but also has a positive impact on mental health, especially the level of stress at the beginning of the week.
