That way, it becomes a habit and you are obligated to do so involuntarily. I believe it leaves a good impression on yourself from other\u2019s perspectives as well.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Walburga Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find that whenever I\u2019m not motivated to clean I\u2019m not motivated to much more than watch tv but let\u2019s be real cleaning always feels more fulfilling then sitting around all day. So with that in mind turn in the music and dance your way to clean and happy!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emily T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I put my headphones in and I just start, little by little the music takes over and the body just keeps going. Music is uplifting and motivates the mind by stimulating your brain. Listen to some of your favorite music whenever you need to stay focused and give yourself a boost to start the tasks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Meike Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There\u2019s no easy answer here. Some days, you\u2019ll feel rotten or depressed, or even sick. The best way to proceed on the days where you hate life, and everyone is different in their circumstances, but on really bad days, my suggestion is to just take the day off and reflect on why you\u2019re feeling blue. Maybe don\u2019t think about it at all, and watch a movie, read a book, go for a walk. The next day you\u2019ll find yourself recharged to do your routine.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Charlie Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You make the choice to keep things tidy in advance. For me, I remember when in college I made the choice to always keep my room tidy no matter what &#8211; and ever since that decision, I nearly always make my bed, put my clothes away, and put things back where they belong. There\u2019s no other option, it\u2019s just things I do. So make that choice now, and when you\u2019re not motivated there won\u2019t be a decision to make, since you already made it before. No matter how tired or sad or upset you are, your body will do it!! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">L Rke Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I really try to adhere to just 10 minutes of tidying, especially when I\u2019m not motivated. In those times i really focus on a specific area, like a table or a shelf, that has the most visible clutter on it. Five minutes in, I see a big difference and it starts to help <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Arron W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ve been trying to do a little bit every time I get up. Throw my covers back up to make my bed. Maybe that\u2019s the best I do that day, or maybe I come back to make it nicely. Or when I get up to go to&#x2F;through the kitchen grabbing a few dishes or bits of trash, or for me to pick up the dirty laundry and toss it in the machine when I walk by. It helps it looking tidy and makes me feel more motivated for when I do decide to clean more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tyrone L.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If I\u2019m not motivated then I\u2019m definitely not trying to be tidy. However I try to keep things very minimal and stack items to make more space. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Klaus Peter O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">if there\u2019s something i know i don&#39;t wanna put away, but should i set it on my bed. either stuff accumulates on my bed and at night i will quickly put it all up so i can sleep later, or while taking it to my bed, i\u2019ll just put it away for real<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Claude S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I always put a timer of 10 minutes and clean up either very early in the morning right after I get out of bed &#8211; this wakes up your body and mind! Or right before going to bed and you\u2019ll be glad to be able to wake up to a beautifully tidy room in the morning. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Antonio Y.
