Some New Year Resolutions for your home

The start of a new year is the best time to reevaluate your goals. But did you know that smashing those achievements out of the park often begins with getting your space in order? Recent studies have shown that clutter and disarray can be directly related to a spike in cortisol, the stress hormone. Elevated cortisol leads to problems with focus, mood changes, sleep issues, and a slew of other health issues. Since you need to be at the top of your game to get things done, here are some ways you can get your home ready for a productive 2025.

Declutter One Area Each Month: Choose a different room or zone (like a closet, kitchen drawer, or bookshelf) each month and dedicate time to decluttering it.
Regular Deep Cleaning: Schedule a monthly or bi-monthly deep cleaning day to tackle those often-neglected areas like baseboards, light fixtures, and appliances.
Mindful Consumption: Before making a new purchase, ask yourself if you truly need it and if it will add value to your home. Consider donating or selling unwanted items.
Create a Cozy Nook: Designate a comfortable spot in your home for reading and relaxation. Add a cozy chair, soft lighting, and a small bookshelf.
Embrace a Greener Lifestyle: Make small changes to reduce your home's environmental impact. This could include switching to energy-efficient light bulbs, composting food scraps, or reducing water usage.

Good assortment of resolutions for our homes. The decluttering is an ongoing task in our house. Having a cosy nook to read we have covered.
