Where to Focus, Young Man?








Hello there! I understand the struggle of parents who deal with household chores without the help of housekeepers. I personally know how hard it is focus on a lot of things, all at once. Most especially those parents who have kids at a very young age. Balancing work, good parenting, and household errands require excellent time management. I have seen my cousins struggle with this a lot!

In today's blog I will give you some tips on how to handle chores based on my keen observances!! I hope this helps!

WHAT?

What are things that you should be prioritizing? Apparently, it is quite hard to choose what to prioritize first in dealing with such situations. Focusing on the little details of your house first, before going to the big ones could go a long way. This includes parts of the house that seemingly looks clean unless you take a closer look at it.

Put attention to cleaning parts of your house that usually gets your attention by chance. For example, the table where your family portraits are displayed. Some might not notice the dust on the tables because it cannot be seen easily. And this might be quite the deal because visitors usually checks on your family portraits, you don't want them to sneeze right after seeing your pictures, right? This also includes the corners of your windows, arm rest chairs, cabinets, and dividers. By the time you finish cleaning the mentioned areas, you can now proceed to cleaning the bigger areas of your house.

In this manner of cleaning from small areas to bigger areas, you will be able to assure yourself that you have accomplished everything right. Always remember that the small details of your house are often forgotten so you have to accomplish it first all the time. Also, it will save time because you won't be needing to check on everything anymore before proceeding to work or babysitting.





WHEN?

Cleaning is a process. With proper organization of your tasks, you will progress quicker than your usual. Sweeping the floors of your house is best done after dusting. This is the best time to meticulously check on the corners of the house that has so much dirt. Also, this will help you to reduce the time of sweeping because all possible types of the dirt are down to the ground already. Right after sweeping, is mopping time! This is to remove sticky and wet silt attached to the floor.

Just remember that doing things in a repetitive manner is very time-consuming. Strategize and know when's the right time to do specific tasks.


WHERE?

Knowing the right areas where you stay-put your tools and equipment plays a vital role in General House Cleaning . This is to lessen the time of putting it up all together before starting. Tucking it in all in one place will allow you to organize them by use. Also, because some cleaning agents have a strong content that's why it should be kept away from other stuff in the house. Most especially, grocery items.

For safety purposes

Keeping it in a place where it is safely stored will guarantee you that your kids won't have the luxury to play with it. It is best to put signs that restricts the young ones to enter your storage room. The cleaning chemical is hazardous. So better keep everything away from the kids.





The surroundings of your house should be neat and clean at all times. General House Cleaning isn't only a priority because your house should always look presentable, it is a responsibility and way of life. A house isn't a home if it is not safe. Safe from germs, viruses, and etc. We want our houses to be safe for our family on the daily as well. I hope today's blog helped!

World's Famous Coffee




It's no-brainer that coffee has been the number one go-to energy supplier of busy bees like me, ever since. I personally think that coffee has helped me meet deadlines and finish a lot of work without falling a sleep during my all-nighters. Not gonna lie, I am so close to considering myself as a coffee addict! Because in the morning, I would usually make myself a heavy mug to pair with my breakfast, then, another one in the afternoon, and at least 2-3 cups at work (11pm-7am shift). Sometimes I feel like my body composition has 80% caffeine and 20% left for others. Believer it or not, COFFEE makes everything better just like bacon. Well, I know that it would be very hard for people who hates coffee to understand my sentiments. But, for sure people who get me will definitely share the same thoughts. I mean, the smell and the contrasting taste of bitterness and a bit of sweetness is just pure PERFECTION!


COFFEE OUTSIDE, HOW 'BOUT THAT?

In my opinion, coffee shops play a crucial role in the chaos of people working on the daily. Aside from restaurants and fast food chains that help us get through the day by giving us food, coffee shops on the hand, saves time and effort of those who look for their daily caffeine fix to start or to finally cap off their day. Also, this industry digs deeper when it comes to their target market. Not only did they focus on adults and young adults but also the teens or the so called "Millenials."  That's why many coffee shops have vastly sprung everywhere. Offering different variations of coffee, frappe, and etc. For they know that, the young ones will enjoy a somehow "customized" coffee that would benefit them according to their preferences. But, I guess, even with all the props, adjustments, and other catchy setups in hand, people will always go to the more popular ones or those who have established a big name already. And I think, Starbucks is the perfect spot if you're looking for a place to have your quick grab of coffee or an hour or so stay with your friends/colleagues.


Starbucks has become one of the many faces of pop culture. With 45 years of great coffee, pastries, and service tucked under their belt, it isn't surprising as to why many of us don't get tired of what they have to offer. Well, if you're not a coffee lover there are still reasons why you still have to check out Starbucks. Here's why:


1.) WARM AMBIANCE


If you feel like having an alone time with your book with some good coffee and cake, well, I have to say you'll definitely have a good stay with them. And guess what? They also play good music! Not to mention- their bashful staff and baristas that will make you feel at home and very relaxed.

2.) INSTAGRAM-WORTHY


For Instagram enthusiasts like me who shamelessly take pics every time we see our prospect for our next IG post, thank the heavens for Starbucks! HAHA! I've lost count on how many branches I have visited yet, but trust me, you'll have at least 3 pending posts for every branch you visit! :)

3.) GOOD FOOD & NON-COFFEE DRINKS


I am in great awe with how Starbucks somehow mixed up their menu with items that people who do not fancy coffee would enjoy. They have non-coffee drinks!! Also, they serve great food. They have cakes, waffles, and a combination of sweet and savory sandwiches and paninis! My personal fave is this mushroom and cheese panini!



That's it! Just always remember that too much of everything is always bad so it is best to put everything in moderation! Thanks for reading! <3
