The New Year is here and we all know what that means...New Year Resolutions and goals for 2024! Most of us always set goals for being healthier and loosing weight or how to increase our income or get rid of debt but how many of home owners set goals for their homes?! If you do, well way to go! If not, I am right there with ya and here are a few different goals that you can set for your home this New Year!
1) Work out a weekly system for keeping your house clean - Daily things that can be such as dishes always going into the dishwasher, dirty clothes in the hamper and hang up clean clothes and coats! Weekly cleaning can be made easier by keeping all cleaning supplies including gloves and cloths in one portable carrier to make each task easier. Clean from the top down i.e. wipe down cabinets counters etc and finish with sweeping and mopping. Most importantly, utilize your family members, HAHA
2) Shrink your bills - There are always to go green besides adding solar pannels to reduce your energy usage. Think of replacing light bulbs with LED bulbs. Turn lights off when your not in rooms. Turn back your A/C or heat when no one is home. Turn off your power strips. Keep computers off or in sleep mode when not in use. And hey, try composting! We do live in Asheville :)
3) Streamline your Stuff - We just celebrated Christmas which means most of us just acquired a lot more things. Try to declutter the old items to make room for the new stuff and do it more than just this one time. Group similar items together. Use baskets to stash stuff like remotes, movies and even your kicked off shoes, they're simple and an easy fix.
4) Clean out your cabinets & drawers - We all eventually get that junk drawer that some how just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Not to mention that cabinet with all the tupperware.
Don't limit your goals to just these, there will always be ways to keep improving our home and making life easier at home!
Happy New Year!
