Your Consistency Problem Isn't What You Think It Is

If you feel like you “can’t stay consistent” with cleaning your home…you might be chasing the wrong kind of consistency.

NEW on the blog

Build a housekeeping routine that actually works

reading time: 7 minutes

How many cleaning plans and checklists have you printed off the internet? How many have you used for more than a week? How many cleaning checklists have you made for yourself? Why do these plans not work?

They do work for awhile. They work while they are new and fresh, while our motivation is high. But can we really say something works if it breaks as soon as life goes sideways?

There is no cleaning system that will prevent life from taking unexpected turns and becoming unpredictable, yet most cleaning plans — and our assumptions going into them — revolve around an expectation of predictability.

If your cleaning plan is going to work, it has to be built with resilience, built to last even into unpredictable interruptions and disruptions. Such is life, and a cleaning plan that can’t handle life is never going to last. The problem isn’t you and your inability to make your life predictable enough. The problem is you (and your cleaning checklist) have the wrong goal.
