Cleaning is not like cleaning the house!  Do you know the difference?

Much of what is called “tidying the house” actually has another purpose and function than, necessarily, organizing things in the right places. With ever more demanding routines, the time dedicated to household chores is reduced more and more and, with this, we accumulate useless objects and put off looking in our house.

And, if that weren’t enough, we end up confusing this role of organizing one’s home with other domestic activities which, although similar, have different roles.

So that we can understand the function of each household task without confusing them with home organization, the posting specialist personal organizer Nalini Grinkraut, author of the book “Casa Ordinata, Vita Luce”, listed 5 activities that generate this confusion. Look at the list, understand each one’s role and what they have different from each other.

1. Clean

Perhaps the one that is most confused with the organization of the house. Doing the daily cleaning of surfaces for home maintenance is far from reaching the complexity that the organization suggests.

2. Save objects

Putting objects back in their respective positions is also highlighted when thinking about the organization of an environment. However, this movement is much more about maintaining a habit than actually organizing it. Such as, for example, putting away the dishes when they are dry, hanging up the coat when returning from the road and many others.

3. Cleaning

Unlike cleaning, the concept here is about deeper cleaning. However, it does not occupy the same function as the organization. In it, the “encumbrance” of the subject is removed, the furniture is dragged, cleaning products are used and this result is maintained with daily cleaning.

4. Decorate

Furnishing the environment, putting flowers, a new curtain or a modern lampshade does not make the environment organized. This practice helps to compose an environment, but if the objects are in inappropriate places, they will not contribute to the presence of a truly organized environment.

5. Hide the clutter

Anyone who loves having drawers, organizing boxes, baskets, niches and other “hideouts” for those junk that accumulates around the house knows what this object is all about. Even if you can’t see it, the mess still exists, albeit in disguise.

What is organizing

Organizing is related to put things in order🇧🇷 From choosing what to store, to deciding the best place to store it and the best way to store it. Sort, know what you have, adjust locations according to your usage habits, plus archive so you can see everything you’ve decided to keep.

The best part is that when the house is organized, the other tasks we listed above are much easier to accomplish! When we understand the function of each home business, it becomes easier to understand the value that organization brings to our lives.

“Your home is the extension of your body. It is your safe haven, your refuge. It is where you rest, your mind relaxes and many experiences are built. Just as we should take care of our body as our temple, we should take care of our home as part of us.” – Nalini Grinkraut
