There is a school of good housekeeping that suggests you use a timer in your daily routine. The idea is that you allocate a certain amount of time to task or room, then you get on with it until the timer rings.

This makes sense. A supportive home is like a foundation that equips you to cope with the rest of your life. When your foundation is strong, you are able to achieve greater things if you come from a base of chaos and ill-health. So maybe there is some truth in the adage of ‘cluttered home, cluttered mind’.
