Tidy home, tidy mind!

  • Check there is nothing out of date in your fridge
  • Make your bed every morning
  • Clean little and often, so you don't get overwhelmed
  • Do your dishes before you go to bed
  • Don't let your laundry pile up
  • Clean as you cook
  • Don't forget to take the bins out
  • Share the responsibilities, if you have flatmates
  • Reward yourself, so you have something to look forward to after the housework is done!

Keep your home safe

  • Lock your doors and windows
  • Keep things out of sight
  • Know who is coming and going
  • Turn off electrical devices when not using them and take care when charging them
  • Try not to isolate yourself too much - get outside, meet people, spend time in other rooms of the home
  • If you live in shared student accommodation and are having issues with flatmates, approach the staff at your accommodation for support and guidance
  • Set aside time to relax!
