Today is one of those days—a day where motivation is scarce, and the workload seems insurmountable. My house is a mess, but that's not the "work" weighing on me; it's the tasks piling up on my laptop, the ones I get paid for. I'm running solely on one ice latte, contemplating the need for another cup or two; it's just that kind of day.
Slowly but surely, I ease into the rhythm of work, and things begin to flow. All I need is to find that elusive "zone," and once I'm there, I know I can accomplish what needs to be done. As I hear someone pull up and let themselves in, I realize it's Gabby coming to clean the house today. We've established a routine over many visits, and I sigh in relief, having forgotten her scheduled visit. The weight of the day lifts, leaving me space to focus solely on my paid work—I don't have to be superwoman today; I can simply be.
After a few hours, I finish my office work, and it's time to grab leftovers from the fridge for lunch and continue. I run into Gabby as she finishes for the day, locking up behind her. Some days, I enjoy chatting with the cleaning crew, but today, I need to put my head down and stay in the zone. I'm grateful for their flexibility and their ability to come and go without any hassle.
A little food, and I'm back at it.
Navigating days like these requires resilience and grace. Sometimes, knowing that someone else is handling tasks like cleaning can alleviate a significant burden, allowing us to focus on what truly matters.
Finding the flow of productivity can be challenging, but once found, it's incredibly rewarding. Having the flexibility to interact with others or to buckle down in solitude is invaluable for managing both work responsibilities and household tasks.
Taking breaks for nourishment is essential for sustaining energy levels and maintaining focus throughout the day. It's all about finding the balance between work and self-care.
At Organic&Clean we have a supportive and understanding cleaning crew who can adapt to our needs makes a world of difference. Their reliability and flexibility ease the burden of managing both work and home life.
On days like these, remember to be kind to yourself. You're doing the best you can, and that's more than enough.
Thankful for our team, we have been cleaning homes in Kelowna since 2011
