Sometimes when you start cleaning, it’s hard to stick to one thing. You notice more things that need cleaning and start those too. Then it feels like too much, and you get stressed.
Junebugging is a way to help. It’s a cleaning method that keeps you focused and calm.
What is Junebugging?
A June bug is a small brown beetle. It flies around, but it keeps coming back to the same spot.
Junebugging works the same way. You pick one job and always come back to it. This helps you stay on track, even if you get distracted.
How to do Junebugging
- Pick one small task. This is your main job. Don’t clean the whole room. Just choose one thing.
Examples:- wipe the kitchen counter
- clear one shelf
- clean the bathroom sink
- Start your task. Begin cleaning that one thing. If you stop to put something away or take a quick break, that’s okay.
- Always go back to your main task. Keep working until you finish.
- Try another task. When you’re done, you can stop. Or pick a new task and repeat.
