After breakfast or mid morning afternoon and before bed. I think of the clean ups more like pushing the reset button to make everything nice and tidy before I move on to the next task or leave the house etc. Because I tidy three times a day it\u2019s only really small quick tidy ups not huge chaos to spend ages fixing. I also do quick tidies whilst I\u2019m waiting for the kettle to boil. Sometimes even small talks feel like a big effort, like emptying the dishwasher. However it\u2019s actually really quick and easy and takes less time than waiting for the kettle to boil. Each time I do a mini tidy it reinforces for me that it\u2019s easy and quick and makes me feel nice and organised and less stressed with no clutter or mess.<br \/>\nObviously sometimes you have big tidy or clean jobs to do that 5 -15 mins just won\u2019t cover. If I need to do something big and have zero motivation I\u2019ll break it into smaller less intimidating tasks. I have a sewing room and it can get chaotic when I\u2019m in the middle of projects. Today for example I tidied one shelf. Tomorrow I\u2019ll tidy my table. Worst case scenario If it all needs to be done in one day I\u2019ll section of some time say an hour for two hours (with breaks if it\u2019s a long job) and I\u2019ll crank some music and set an alarm for when my allocated time is up. Having a clearly defined end goal removes the feeling of a task being never ending or impossible \ud83d\ude0a\ud83d\udcaa\u270a<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-279153124\"><div id=\"thefa-1874928479\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Your new life awaits<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maria Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to use \u201c5 second\u201d rule. There\u2019s a book written by Mel Robins, you can find her spear cg on YouTube. I think about doing something and stand up in the next 5 seconds to do it. Don\u2019t remember exact science behind it, but it\u2019s  If you will wait longer than that -your  procrastination mode will turn on.<\/p>\n<p>I have some personal traits which probably helps as well. I really don\u2019t like cleaning, but I don\u2019t like mess even more. I like when my surroundings are organised and tidy. Also, cleaning everyday a little bit is easier than later spend  the whole  afternoon for something you don\u2019t like to do.<\/p>\n<p>I would also suggest clean as you go &#8211; start tidying up kitchen meanwhile cooking, put your belongings back into their places as soon as you are done with them, leave your clothes in the same place instead of scattering them around. Using method like this you just need a minute or two at a time, so it really becomes much easier.<\/p>\n<p>I hope it will help.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Silje C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Remember how you feel after you cleaned up. The satisfaction and clarity of mind that comes with cleaning and tidying things up is what matters as it\u2019s an emotion.<br \/>\nThat emotion is what will make you take action.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lee Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Often if I just put myself in the space that needs cleaning, I\u2019ll start to feel annoyed that it\u2019s messy and that gives me motivation to clean it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lana E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I just remind myself that if I don\u2019t clean now (during that moment), I\u2019ll regret it later when I have to clean up my whole room, after procrastinating Lear\u2019s to chaos. Clean whenever you think you need to. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nino I.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tell myself that it\u2019ll just be quick (and 9 times out of 10 it\u2019s only a few minutes) and that I\u2019ll feel much better when it\u2019s done. It\u2019s better to do it now when it\u2019s small and quick than when it\u2019s all piled up and much harder to do. I also try to do little things when I\u2019m up and about already &#8211; like when I get up to make tea or do anything else. I figure I might as well, since it\u2019s not out of my way. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Camila Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I actually don\u2018t really tell myself something to clean.i kinda think about this feeling you get, once your room is clean.

I think about how my family will be blessed by a clean house. Or worst case scenario, I think about my mother-in-law coming over and seeing my mess. Yikes! Whatever works <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ewen Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find that it is so easy to walk past and ignore things for days. Then when l do actually roll up my sleeves it occurs to me that I could have just been doing this on auto pilot all the time to make it less of a job or a chore at all.  Yet I dish this wisdom out to my kids all the time \ud83e\uddd0\ud83d\ude02.<br \/>\nSo I\u2019m trying to break up my day and not get sucked into my phone or laptop- it can end up with hours of tech and nothing gets done!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eckhardt J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You\u2019ll feel so much better relaxing in a clean space knowing you\u2019ve taken care of what needs to be done.

If I accomplish the rest, even better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ethan F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tell myself I will just do ten minutes and that after that I can stop if I want to.
