Quick Cleaning Tip: Hire Someone

At first I was just trying to be funny about hiring someone, but I got to thinking about it and this really can be an excellent option for some households.  I’m very aware that everyone has a budget to keep in mind, but hiring someone to help you really can be a great option for busy families struggling to get everything done.  Perhaps you read one of my last posts listing everything that I felt I needed to get done over the weekend.  I sure did get a lot done, but I didn’t get it all done and chances are you aren’t getting everything done either.  I’ve worked with busy two-income families that worked uber hard all week and then still had all of the normal chores to catch up with over the weekend.  This could be the perfect scenario for hiring someone to clean (I’m not talking about organizing here) while they are at work leaving their weekends open for something other than mopping, dusting and vacuuming.  Maybe it’s only once a month for deep cleaning; boy would I ever love to have someone come over to dust my blinds! Another option is hiring someone for the outside.  A yard service or nearby teenager to cut your grass once or twice a month.

If this is something that you choose to do, be sure to choose to do it without guilt.  Your time and energy and effort is valuable and you have to decide where to best spend it. Maybe your best way to spend it is at the beach with your kids while someone else takes care of the dusting-what will your children remember more?

Making a concious decision to have a better life balance means you get to pick and choose the best way to spend your time!  Now, I am off for a run!  OK, a run/walk.  :)
