I think at some point or another, we all attempt to create a version of ourselves that is tidier and cleaner, especially for new years resolutions. And honestly, it probably doesn’t last too long. Studies have proven that humans are not so successful when it comes to prioritizing long-term goals over instant gratification, and let’s face it, cleaning is probably the last thing anyone wants to do.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why we like putting things off like doing our dishes, over binge watching 10+ hours of Netflix in a weekend, clearly time is not the issue here. The obvious answer is: dishes are gross and we can always do it later. At some point however, the stress of not having completed these tasks become more of an annoyance than having to do them in the first place. To battle these woes, take 10 minutes each day to do a simple clean that will leave you feeling accomplished and maybe one step closer to becoming that tidier you.

I took inspiration from one of my favorite cleaning books “Simply Clean” to bring you guys this simple 10-minute guide to cleaning your kitchen. Enjoy and feel free to share!
