Foliage is beautiful while it lasts, but once the leaves start falling (it\u2019s called fall for a reason), they need to be removed. Ugh. Clearing leaves can be pretty time-consuming, but it\u2019s a super important part of maintaining a healthy yard (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/services\/yardwork-removal\/yard-work-removal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consider outsourcing if you literally can\u2019t even<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). A buildup of leaves can block all the things your grass needs to grow: sunlight, airflow, water, and nutrients. Kind of like a facial for your yard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Share gratitude and appreciation\u2026 for organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Staying organized gives much to appreciate, including a decluttered home, increased productivity, and reduced stress. The incomparable Marie Kondo recommends focusing on categories, as opposed to rooms, within your home. For example, gathering all of the towels around your house (like the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room) will help you understand their true volume, making it easier to get rid of what you don\u2019t need. She also suggests expressing gratitude as you are organizing and decluttering your home. Giving thanks and saying \u201csayonara\u201d to those objects you no longer need helps clear the mind and refresh the soul. If the KonMari method isn\u2019t quite your jam, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/services\/personal-assistant\/organization\">you can hire a Tasker to do it for you<\/a> and save your gratitude for them<\/span>.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Shake up your routine\u2026 by giving your house a deep clean.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of us are used to cleaning on a routine basis, but how often should you deep clean your home? Well, the answer depends on what\u2019s being cleaned. Bathrooms tend to require more routine cleaning: showers, bathtubs and toilets should be cleaned on a weekly basis to avoid bacterial and fungal growth, whereas shower heads can be cleaned and descaled once a year. For all the cooks: microwaves should be cleaned every week to get rid of food spatter, and refrigerators can be cleaned once a month. A good night\u2019s rest begins in bed: pillows can be cleaned every quarter and mattresses every six months. Is your head spinning yet? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/services\/cleaning\/deep-cleaning\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Tasker can do it all, so you can keep your sanity intact.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like most relationships, it\u2019s easy to take your home for granted, which is precisely why it deserves some good, ol\u2019 fashioned TLC this fall.\u00a0 We thought it\u2019d be fun to take some of the best love advice and apply it to your home upkeep.
