I decided I would start posting a couple of things that I've discovered post-divorce to share with the rest of you fellas.

I hope you find the small things helpful in rebuilding your life. Some of these things may seem a bit obvious but no one really told me so here we go.

Tip: Keep a clean house

Quick backstory my wife and I moved into this house in September it was already dirty and had never been cleaned we moved in partially unpacked got divorced in February and the house was absolutely filthy.

I tried to clean it myself and discovered I am bad at it and I don't really have the time or energy to do it additionally not having a clean house was impacting my psychological state. I would say it was affecting my motivation and I decided that I needed to get some help with this.

I hired a residential cleaning company it was fast and easy I used an app. I don't want to plug the app because I don't want my post to get flagged or anything like that but there's plenty of them out there

It cost $250 to have my three bedroom two bath house cleaned from top to bottom including the carpets shampooed. It looks great it smells great two women's came in and spent four and a half hours on this house and did nice things like make the bed and fold little shapes on my toilet tissue and rearrange things to make them look nice or put them in a logical place as women know how to do to make it feel homey.

This was a fabulous investment in my opinion I highly recommend that if you are also domestically challenged as I am get some help with it it's not that expensive and it will give you a different feel for your space and help you to chill a little bit.

As an ongoing matter they can come back at any frequency that you want to clean it The initial cleaning what they call a deep cleaning was more expensive hence the higher charge it was well worth it everything was absolutely dirty from the ceiling fan to the floor and now everything is super clean from the windows (to the walls? lol) terrible pun. It's clean my friends.

Additionally I would not be embarrassed to have a new lady friend visit me in this current state of the house. Prior to the cleaning I would be absolutely frightened to have anyone see the space it was so bad.

It's not a big deal Don't wait just get it cleaned and then put them on a schedule let him come whatever frequency you're comfortable with or your budget allows just do it you'll be glad.

Cheers fellas! we got it! no problem!
