Distracted Momma, in response to your original posting… I love having a clean house. I love a clean workshop. I love a clean office.
And I rarely have them.
A couple of strategies I use are to delay going to be for 5 minutes and pick up the kitchen, do the last few dishes, and put things away. The way I motivate myself is to picture what it’ll be like, to imagine how nice it will be to come down to clean counters, closed drawers… inviting. I do it for myself, not for anyone else.
In my office, the same thing. In the afternoon, when I’m restless and need to move, I tidy a bit. Put stuff away. Clean one counter. And the biggest one… throw things out! Especially things on my computer. Decluttering my computer screen and tossing out old stuff.
And the house? When I’m watching football I get up during the commercials and pick up, tidy, etc.. And when the game is on I’ll sort a box of stuff. The game keeps me entertained while I’m doing the chores.
