What is the Five Things Method?
This is an approach to household chores created by Casey Davis, a licensed psychotherapist and author of I Hate Cleaning. A thorough system of putting things in order for those who do not have the desire or strength to do so.” When the clutter in your home seems to be getting out of hand, she suggests focusing on just five categories:
Garbage.
Clothes that need to be washed.
Dirty dishes.
Things that have their place.
Things that don’t belong.
Davis is convinced that this approach can deal with any kind of clutter. Once you start sorting things this way, moving around your home and focusing on just one category, you’ll feel a sense of relief no matter how many rooms you have or how much you need to do. Finally, realize that you are in control.
