How To Motivate Yourself To Clean
Have you ever had one of those days when you just can't get started? Clean the kitchen, clean the bathroom, clean the living room, make dinner, wash the dishes? It nevers seems to end.
Here are some tips on how to motivate yourself to clean your home.
Turn on your radio or MP3 player to the music of your choice:
Nothing motivates me more than music. You can use your broom stick as a microphone and sing to the top of your lungs while cleaning. Before you know it, you're on to the next room
Get rid of clutter:
Even if you concentrate on a small piece or an area, the feeling of watching unwanted items being removed from your home can be invigorating and freeing.
Rearrange the room:
Once I start cleaning, I tend to move things around to give my space a new look. Changing up a room gives you the motivation to keep it clean and clutter free.
Try a new cleaning product:
I like trying out new products, so when something new comes along, take that as an opportunity to discover something new that can lighten your workload.
Watch home improvement shows:
Watch HGTV. Seeing renovated houses can motivate you to get up and start cleaning.
