MAKING THE EVERYDAY MORE ENJOYABLE

I am going to keep this post short and sweet. I was doing laundry the other day and found myself enjoying it. As someone who used to detest doing laundry so much, that I just didn’t do it, this came as a surprise to me. I asked myself why, I suddenly enjoyed the task and broke it down into a few key points we can all incorporate into the usually mundane routine.

One

location, location, location.

Try folding and ironing your laundry in your favourite room of the house where you don’t usually get to spend a lot of time.

I’ve taken to ironing and folding my laundry in our master bedroom because I love being in there but don’t often have a reason to go there, especially while we are still missing most of our furniture.

INDULGE IN A GUILTY PLEASURE

I’ve taken to listening to some of my favourite old audiobooks while finishing up chores like laundry or vacuuming the house. It makes me excited to get to the chores because it means I get to listen to one of my favourite audiobooks. I just pop in a set of headphones and I get to work.

INVEST IN YOUR EVERYDAY

I used to spend a pretty penny on beautiful dresses and clothes that I loved but had no where to wear them. Instead, I spend money on everyday items that I see and work with on a daily basis. It makes me enjoy chores and the everyday so much more because I am surrounded by things I love. For example, I invested in a gorgeous basket to hold our laundry and now I legitimately enjoy doing laundry because I like using my new laundry basket.

When you’re doing a chore, think about why you don’t enjoy it and think up ways to make it more enjoyable. If you hate that old laundry basket, get a pretty one, if you find it boring, mix it with something you love that you usually don’t make time for, it’s as simple as that.
