In that 5 minutes you stay absolutely focused!   Increase the time GRADUALLY!  Keep a List in your journal or someplace handy.  Write down what it was you WANTED to go do, but didn\u2019t.

Make a dedication to do ONE room and only one a day or on a specific day of the week. If it helps, turn on a timer and when it goes off just stop what you\u2019re doing and resume the next day. I know we can get caught up in tidying or other things in life and then we just keep going.
