Clean your house properly
“The less clutter there is in your home, the easier it is to do basic cleaning chores, which let’s be honest, spark joy in almost nobody!” Kondo says.
“If you find yourself feeling frantic and overwhelmed, taking a moment to tidy up the kitchen or your bed can really calm those nerves and bring more focus into your mind,” West says.
Redecorate your bedroom
“If you have your home office in your bedroom, it’s great if the room is laid out so that when you’re actually lying down to go to sleep you don’t see your desk and all the piles of papers,” Dr. Augustin says.Â
“If you can’t put your whole home in order, try to have at least one room, such as the master bedroom, that gives you peace and respite from it all,” West says.
“It’s better for our health when the conditions are darker for sleep,” Dr. Augustin says. “You can pull them during the day to let the daylight in. If you were brought up that an unmade bed communicated that you’re slovenly, then you’ve got to get that bed made. If not, an unmade bed could actually be more inviting to you when you get home at the end of the day.”
