When I was younger (meaning 10-15 years ago), my mom imposed a general cleaning schedule in the house. Usually, my sister and I were ordered to help. Most of the time, we found ourselves loathing doing the chore because that meant less or no time at all for our own leisure pursuits.
But as we grew up and learned to discern what responsibilities we have for ourselves, whether inside or outside the four walls of our house, somehow we had forgone this task that had been part of our childhood.
And the result (hehehe...):
Well, the mess is from my sister's room. Hehehe. Sorry sis! :)
She is a busy girl who works late and doesn't seem to have much time because of other work-related stuff. Besides, she doesn't have a penchant for house or room cleaning for that matter. Sometimes, I wonder how she can sleep in that room of hers. Hehehe.
And when my mom pops in her room, they usually end up having a petty quarrel because my mother orders her to sort her stuff and my sister will make a thousand and one excuses.
Despite that, I have seen my sister take the initiative to clean her room in more than one occasion. For that, I let her be.
On the other hand, I am the type of person who loathe seeing a state of disorder anyplace in the house; that is, areas where I pass by, sleep, eat, rest. Ultimately, it is a crime for me to have our bedroom in complete chaos.
That was the heap of clean clothes I was folding while Miguel was busy playing on the other side of the bed. Usually, I always end up re-folding them whenever he decides to wrestle with the pile of folded clothes. Hehehe.
There is a nook in our room where I typically dump my stuff (for sorting) in the floor. Like photo above, I pile my current bills, receipts, books for reading, recently received parcels and the main-stay in that corner: my mini-shredder, where I shred unwanted yet confidential papers.
So, how do you deal with clutter in your own homes? :)
