Find a Local Laundry Service

You see when you’re working from office, washing clothes after you come back home is pretty taxing. And so you probably skip that for the weekend. But add a last-minute plan to your weekend, and your dirty pile of clothes ends up staying in your laundry basket longer than they should. So instead, take a walk through your neighborhood and try finding a cheap laundry service. That way, you can get them to pick up your next week’s attires on a Friday and get them washed, pressed, and delivered by Sunday. With that covered, you’re sorted for next week, my friend.

Get a Deep Cleaning Service

Heard of startups like Urban Company? Well, now there are plenty of services like that available in most cities. Now, we know they’re expensive for daily cleaning, but if you manage to keep your room tidy enough by yourself, you can book a deep cleaning service once or twice a month. Basically, just broom the floor on a daily basis. And the other more complicated stuff like cleaning the back of your AC or the corners of your ceiling can be done via booking these services. Or if you want something even more pocket-friendly, try fixing a deal with your PG’s house help for proper cleaning of your room a couple of times a week.

Take One Step At a Time

Well, in case if the above ones don’t work for you, then you’ll have no option but to do it all by yourself. But even in that case, it does not have to feel like a big mountain sitting on the top of your head. For that, take one step at a time. We mean, make a schedule out of your weekly chores. Pick up one small task every day and if you’re regular with it, you should be pretty sorted. Now, we also admit that sometimes you might have to skip a day due to last-minute hiccups, but you can compensate for it the next day. If not anything, this way at least your weekends would be relatively free. Exactly what your mum suggested you do with your homework back in school, remember?

Make Your Bed and Clean As You Go

Dividing your chores into small daily tasks is easier said than done. Because sometimes, all it takes for you to fall out of routine is one insulting remark from your college professor. Or simpler, just the release of a new episode from your favorite Netflix show. So to avoid that, just practice the habit of making your bed – and clearing your chair – every day. On top of that, try building the habit of cleaning as you go on making your room dirty. What we mean is, if some bhujia falls on the floor, just brush it away with a broom right then and there. Or cut to three days later, and the bhujia on your floor will be chilling with some spilled Maggi, thrown paper balls and your undergarment too.

Divide the Chores Between Your Roomies

In case you share a room with a roommate, then we promise you, your life will get a whole lot easier. First, you can divide the chores between yourselves and schedule your duties on alternate days. Second, you’d automatically start being more disciplined given you’ll be accountable to another person. And that’s what roomies do, they teach you all the stuff (like responsibility and accountability) that we may not have learned at home. All thanks to mum and dad who’d cover stuff for us, without us even asking for it.
