Wanna spice up your cleaning routine?
I recommend pairing painful tasks with a “daytime strain,” as a lil treat. Seek out a sativa strain that delivers a positive, motivating high to help you power through your chores. You want to boost your energy levels and tackle your housework with a calm and collected approach, focusing on each item one by one until the cleaning is complete. This might not be the case for everyone, so it's important to find what works best for you. Some people prefer to clean in silence, while others like to listen to music or podcasts. Whatever your preference, make sure it helps you stay focused & motivated.
Remember, consistency is key. By sticking to a regular cleaning schedule, you can ensure that your home stays clean and organized throughout the year. And who knows, maybe a little bit of weed could be the key to making cleaning a more fun & enjoyable experience for you too!
