Such a farming system is called Flylady. It was developed by American Marla Seeley and is very popular abroad and in Russia today. Its meaning boils down to two key provisions: housekeeping should be enjoyable and take little time.

Get rid of unnecessary things
Worn clothes and shoes, old magazines, notebooks, a burnt-out toaster and a bulky exercise bike have been gathering dust for years, taking up useful space. It’s a pity to throw it away. Instead, we repeatedly look for a lot of excuses why this particular item should be left. Meanwhile, the accumulation of unnecessary things reduces the level of comfort and coziness in any room. And emotional attachment to things programs us to be poor, psychologists are sure.
You don’t have to throw away the stuff you love: some of it will be useful to other people. Items in good condition can be donated, sold or handed over to social assistance points. Animal shelters often require large-sized warm clothes, blankets, pots and buckets, and household equipment. Old newspapers and notebooks can be taken to waste paper collection points. And for the clothes handed over, some stores provide a discount on the purchase of new outfits.
Wash the dishes after eating
Train yourself to wash the dishes every time after eating. It is much easier to remove fresh leftovers from several plates than to disassemble a whole mountain of dried and smelly dishes. At the same time, some of the work can be done right during cooking. For example, rinse the cutting board and measuring cup. An empty kitchen sink in the morning is guaranteed to cheer you up and set a productive tone for the whole day.
