Spring Cleaning

Spring Clean Your House and Sort Out Your Finances

By: Paul McIndoe

There’s no better time than spring to reorganise yourself and your household. And indeed, many people grasp springtime as an opportunity to declutter their homes, reassess what they actually need (versus what’s superfluous), and to generally reorganise their environment and day-to-day doings. In fact, this is true for whether it relates to the workplace or the home.

However, many people don’t know where to begin with a job as big as ‘spring cleaning’, which often leaves them taking on too much at once and getting overwhelmed. When it comes to re-organising and re-assessing, it’s best to focus on one thing at a time; that way, you can give your full attention to one thing rather than your divided attention to a number of different tasks. Spring cleaning is challenging in itself, so there’s no point in making it harder by trying to do too many things at once.

But it’s also worth keeping in mind that spring cleaning and organising should be a group effort if multiple people are associated with a given space. For instance, if you share an office space with others, suggest that everyone clean and de-clutter together. That way, the entire job - which can be big - won’t fall on one person. Similarly, you shouldn’t have to take on the entire task of spring cleaning your home if you share the home with others - whether it’s with family or roommates.

Aside from the fact that spring cleaning a house is a huge task, it can be tricky trying to sort through other people’s belongings. After all, you don’t want to end up throwing out something that someone actually wanted! But remember that if you do live alone, you can still get help clearing your home of clutter. There are companies and individuals out there who specialise in helping people clean, organise and de-clutter their homes.

However, for many, springtime organising extends beyond cleaning. For countless people, this time of year is also an opportunity to get other areas of their lives - such as finances - in order. For instance, spring is a great time to ensure you have all your necessary insurance policies in place and up to date - whether it’s your car insurance, life insurance or home insurance UK policy. It’s also a great time to check in with your bank to ensure your accounts and finances are up to speed, and to check that you’re aware of all your account outgoings, settings, and general status.

So, even if you do your best to keep up with ‘housekeeping’ - whether it’s to do with your actual home, workplace, or your finances and insurance status - it’s always worth checking in at least once a year to tie up loose ends and to ensure you’re up to speed. And there’s no better time to take on the task than spring!
