Have you ever looked around and thought that you would be able to think more clearly if your home was cleaner and less cluttered?
You’re right!
A clean house could improve your thinking, whether it is sleep or fighting off illness!
Working 9-5
Sometimes we can feel that our lives revolve around the 9-5, but, don’t let a Dolly Parton classic affect your right to have some time to relax.
Maybe it’s the time to step back from your busy life and press pause on the hassle of balancing your work and family life.
We all know that the pressures of the world can affect the way we think. However, have you considered that the cleanliness of your house could impact the way you think too?
Tidy House, Tidy Mind
Researchers have found that there is a link between the cleanliness of your house and your cognitive skills. A study conducted by Study Bulletin in November 2009, showed that higher levels of stress correlated with the cleanliness of people’s homes.
With that in mind, we have some tips to help improve the way you think just by cleaning around the house, or even better letting us do it for you!
So how can a cleaner home improve your levels of thinking?
- Fighting off infection and illness- We all know by now that unclean surfaces or furniture can improve the risk of infection and illness, but do you know that airborne bacteria can result in the air inside the home being marginally worse than the air outdoors? By keeping your home clean, there will be a reduced possibility of illness and infection which will correlate with improvement of health and cognitive function.
- Improved sleep- We all know that having cluttered and untidy rooms can affect stress and anxiety levels. This can have a snowball effect when it comes to going to sleep at night. If rooms become un-cluttered and overall tidiness is improved, this results in a more relaxing and calm environment, making going to sleep stress-free and easy. Furthermore improving sleep can then result in better brain function and thinking.
- Cluttered house – Cluttered mind- Ever finished a long day of work and returned home to be confronted with a mess? By tackling the cleaning in the house with easy steps, coming home from work can become more relaxing. There is no doubt that when we live in a cluttered environment this immediately impacts our ways of thinking and our mood. By cleaning the house (or even one room) your mind will be able to receive and retain information at a higher more direct level.
- Organisation- Thinking involves a degree of organisation, and so do many of our days. If the space in which we live is organised there is no reason why our minds can’t be the same. By sorting out your home you could develop better organisation skills which, you guessed it will improve your thinking!
