The Little Things Count
Now that I've started honing my housetending habits, I'm starting to notice little unplanned benefits.
Like when I leave a room I take something that doesn't belong there out.
Like I've started to fill the sink with soapy water while I cook so that when something spills (it always does) I can have a damp cloth at hand to clean it up quickly, and a place to soak the dishes I'm done with.
Like if something has a place it's supposed to live and it isn't in that place and I don't need it right now, I've started putting it back.
It's weird, I tell you!
Not only that, but the rest of the house has been helping, too!
I asked Keithr to stop mid-swipe so that I could take this picture for you:
I hadn't realized what a thick layer of dust had built up on the screen until he started to take a cloth to it! Wow, what a difference!
It's the little things building up slowly that bring reliable results...
(I hope... ;)
