Only a few days remain before the New Year. There is still so much to do in order to properly welcome the Year of the Green Wooden Snake.

It is believed that "how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it". Therefore, the first step is to tidy up your home.

To accomplish everything before New Year's Eve, it is essential to organize the cleaning process in a way that is both quick and effective, and most importantly, does not drain your energy before the holiday.

Start by creating a plan: divide the apartment into zones and identify the areas that will be most visible to guests.

During cleaning, follow the "top to bottom" principle — this is the fundamental approach for any cleaning. Begin by dusting the upper shelves, then move on to the furniture, and finish by cleaning the floors. Also, start with large objects and noticeable messes. This will immediately make the space look tidier.

Use the basket method: place a basket in each room for items that need to be relocated. Then, carry them to their proper places all at once.

This will save time and help avoid clutter.

Try to multitask, or apply the "two hands" rule. For example, while something is being washed or prepared, wipe down mirrors in the hallway.

Work with a timer. Set 20-30 minutes for cleaning each zone to avoid spending too much time on any one area.

A well-thought-out approach can significantly reduce the time needed to prepare your home for the holiday. By applying these techniques, you will be able to prepare for the celebration faster and create a cozy atmosphere in your home!

The New Year is a holiday that should bring joy, not exhaustion from cleaning.
