Sometimes, when you are completing projects at home, it is important to really focus and do the best job possible. For example, if you are repainting a room you want to make sure that you apply the paint evenly throughout. You need to make sure you are not getting paint on the ceiling OR on the floor. You need to take your time so that you can do the best job that you can possibly do.

There are times however, where it is not imperative that you do a four-star job. While some projects may call for a certain kind of 'perfection,' most things that most people need to get done do not.

I have a friend who told me that, over the weekend, she spent a full hour scrubbing her kitchen floor. My immediate thought was, 'That was about forty minutes too long!' Don't get me wrong. I love having a clean house. I am anti-clutter and take pride in keeping my home as clean as it can be. That being said, I also don't find it necessary to go overboard. I, for one, cannot imagine spending an entire hour on ONE cleaning job around the house. Instead, I choose to do a quicker, 'this is good enough' version of these jobs and then just do them more frequently.

Think of it this way: Nothing in this world is perfect. And is it really that important that it's not? Granted, nobody wants to live in a dirty house. But is it really worth all of the time and energy that it would require to try to make everything perfectly pristine?

Think of walking through a model home. Everything is perfectly clean and nothing is out of place. Do you know why that is? Because nobody lives there. Once an actual person starts living there, things will get dirty. That's life. It happens.

Don't spend every available free moment trying to return your lived-in home back to a picture-perfect model home. When it come to cleaning your home, and factoring in the amount of time that you CAN spend trying to keep it clean, sometimes 'good enough' is good enough.
