Exercise-induced sweat, nutritious food and some daily maintenance are the ingredients of prime physical fitness. When you look after yourself, you are rewarded with the sense that you are performing to your full potential. Your home’s ability to function effectively is also dependent on conscious upkeep and a handful of good habits. A house that is cared for will run like a well-oiled machine, allowing its inhabitants to feel secure, happy and relaxed.
Making any lifestyle change can be a challenge, but if you feel overwhelmed by the clutter and grime in your home, it’s probably time to reassess your routines and tighten your approach to housekeeping.
Kirsty Farrugia is a professional organiser and the co-founder of The Art of Decluttering, a home organisation business that works closely with National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants. “Our passion is pointing people toward intentionalism and helping them become intentional with their time, money, space and mental health,” she says. While the processes of decluttering, cleaning and organising spaces are key to creating an intentional home, developing an overarching goal is the first step to making efficient and long-lasting changes. “Ask yourself what your vision is for your home and life. Do you want more time for self-care or family togetherness? Define your goals and design your home life in a way that helps you achieve this,” says Farrugia.
