I Tried the Swedish "Staddag" Cleaning Concept, and It Worked Wonders on My Home and Mind
Briefly

Sweden embraces a cultural practice called 'staddag,' or cleaning day, where families and communities dedicate time to clean together weekly. This tradition emphasizes not just the act of cleaning, but also encourages a mindset of gratitude and teamwork. While similar to the concept of a Sunday reset found elsewhere, staddag is more deeply ingrained in Swedish life, creating a sense of shared responsibility and accomplishment in tidying up home environments. Trying this practice for a month can bring a refreshing structure to weekly home maintenance.
Oftentimes when cleaning your home, the focus may be on getting the task done and out of the way. In Sweden, a staddag will accomplish this, but in a way that focuses more on the "why" behind your cleaning; it serves as a form of positive motivation and gratitude.
Staddag directly translates to 'cleaning day' and is a marked event in the calendar where everyone is expected to come together and tidy up.
