Efficient Cleaning Method: The Five Things Tiding Method

The Five Things Tiding Method is a practical approach to cleaning up a room by focusing on five categories: trash, dishes, laundry, things that have a place, and things that don't have a place. By starting with the top of the list and going category by category, it helps in managing mental blocks associated with cleaning. The method stresses on using a big trash bag to avoid distractions, as leaving the room can lead to getting caught up in other tasks. The strategy prioritizes making the space livable and functional by addressing trash and dishes first, using laundry baskets without holes to collect dishes efficiently. This method is designed to overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed by a messy room and lack of motivation to tidy up.
