Are you a bitter or a blitzer?

When it comes to tidying up there seem to be two camps.

There are those who tidy along the way, picking up bits here and there and returning them to their rightful place, keeping on top of things and maintaining a pleasantly tidy environment.

Then there are those who let things slide a little. Don’t worry too much about the day to day collection of detritus, until such point as it reaches their level of discomfort.

Then they blitz it. They will sweep in, collect everything up, spend ages sifting and sorting through the piles and ending up with an environment which is much more pristine than it will have been for some time.

Both ways can work.

Problems occur when you are one, and your partner, or children, are another.

Learning about the difference in tolerance levels really helped me communicate with my partner and children. I learnt to moderate my levels to better suit others in the family, and to reduce the overall stress that dealing with grumpy people causes.
