There are few who find cleaning enjoyable. Some like the structure, routine, and the calming feeling it delivers in keeping busy, yet productive. But the rest of us, find cleaning tedious. It is often difficult to find the motivation to get the ball rolling. But with these tips we at Nadia’s House Cleaning have shared, hopefully something here helps you.
How to Get Motivated to Clean & Organise
1) Recruit a cleaning buddy. With a promise some wine and pizza, your friend might be eager to come over and assist in the chores. Enjoying the company, chatting, and laughing while cleaning out your closet not only helps pass the time, but getting a second opinion can help avoid hoarding habits.
2) Admit your weakness. For many, laundry is the weakness, at least getting it put away after it has been washed or briefly worn. As it stacks up in a disturbing pile, it makes the rest of the room look messy. Acknowledging your weakness and finding a solution can help you keep the laundry better maintained.
3) Try a new cleaning product. In comparison to getting a new kitchen accessory that motivates you to cook or bake, investing in a new cleaner or device might help you look forward to cleaning.
4) Use a habit trigger. A habit trigger is an action that spurs a result. For example, if you always load the dishwasher after you have your cup of coffee; it will soon become automatic behavior.
5) Invite people over. A very strong motivator is inviting people over; nothing gets you more motivated than keeping your usual cleaning habits a secret.
6) Play favorite music while cleaning. Music plays a role in many daily life activities, just as it helps motivate workouts, and the same can be said motivating you to cleaning. Create a minimum of a 20-minute-long playlist and get cleaning, agree to yourself you will stay cleaning at least until it is over.
7) Use a timer to clean house. Like the playlist tip, only you set a timer for a short length of time; 20 minutes always seems manageable. Like the pact with the music, don’t stop until the clock expires.
8) Put one thing in its proper spot. Instead of noticing the empty glass and walking past, take a few extra seconds to stick it in the dishwasher instead of letting it just sit there. It will help minimize the pile up of messes and you accomplish your goal of completing a small task at a time.
9) Rewards. Treat yourself to the pedicure or day at the salon. This way you are motivated to get the job done because there is a reward waiting for you. Additionally it is also much easier to relax without the weight of the chores weighing on your mind.
10) Tackle one cleaning task a day. It is okay to spread out your cleaning tasks over the course of the week. With fast paced life styles, you can’t expect to get all your chores done in one day.
