You can try to make cleaning fun and exciting by making it a game! If you live with someone and you’re close to them, you can set a timer for set amount of time and play some fun tunes and have a friendly cleaning competition. This can help you make cleaning fun, exciting, and it’s within a set amount of time so you can fit it in your schedule and it can help you motivate yourself to clean. You can also do this competition with yourself to see how fast you can clean a space. You got this!
I have found that the 10 minute tidy up task on Fabulous makes it easy to dedicate a little time a day to clean! You can set the reminder at whatever time works best for your schedule. I like to listen to the ambient music Fanulous has too. Makes it feel better to keep up with a little consistent cleaning! Hope this helps 🙂
I’ve found that setting a few things to do in the morning automatically without thinking gets most of the load off. Afterwards, the little things throughout the day, are much easier to do them at once instead of saving it for later when you have the time or feel like it. I also read something that clicked with me. "Who told you that you need to 'feel' like doing something in order to do it?" I always feel demotivated and tired all the time. The autopilotting through works wonders.
Don’t try to do everything at once. Set yourself small tasks regularly, like taking 5 minutes to wash up, or clean the kitchen surfaces. Try to do these at regular times (e.g. as soon as you finish eating, wash the dishes) and before you know it it will become a habit! Also, if there’s something you need to do but you’ve been putting it off, as soon as you think about/remember it, just count to 3 and then do the thing. Chances are it won’t be as bad as you expected, and you’ll feel so relieved after it’s done. Hope this helps! 🙂
Yo te recomiendo que festejes cada uno de tus logros, tanto mejor si son pequeños. No esperes lograr grandes bios, “se hace camino andar”
Reward yourself – I have clean & tidy up as part of my habit building, so whatever it is I want to do to relax, I won’t do until I’ve spent at least 10 minutes just tidying up in a particular room. I find that once I’ve started, I’ll end up adding things on; maybe some laundry, hoover more rooms, clean the downstairs toilet whilst the floor in the dining room dries. Before you know it, you’ll be so pleased with yourself that going ahead and relaxing will feel so much sweeter. And on the days you only stick to 10 minutes, you’ve at least completed your task, somewhere is now cleaner than it was and that’ll be reward enough.
Honestly I am the exact same way, the thing that has helped me the most is adding 10-15min cleaning/tidying sessions to my morning, night, and even afternoon routine. This works for me because I am able to live in my space during the day but still feel on top of the mess. For example if I take my sweater off I try to put it away but if I don’t I know I have time allotted to clean up those little things.
I like to do "Just one thing" at task change. So for example, I will wash the dishes before I go to work, put them away when I get home, throw laundry on before bed and the next day put it in the dryer when I wake up to fold when I get home. Just one little thing anytime you change tasks adds up to 4-5 things per day!
I’ve found that setting little reminders and alerts on your phone for 5 minutes of cleanup each day helps keep things tidy. I’m not one who keeps my room organized on my own and the length of some tasks daunts me. 5 minutes gives me enough time to clean my bed, throw out trash, and organize my desk. Some days, like weekends, I devote to larger tasks like purging clothes and sanitation.
Same problem , one way – is to make it harder to garbage up the place and easy to clean. Meaning : accessible trash bin , maybe a mini vacuum , less open spaces to just dump stuff on , containers ! and shelf’s – let things have their place if you can’t put it away in time. Also an open closet
