House Cleaning--Game On!
Hi Lucky Mommy,
May I suggest you play a game with yourself to tune out distractions and get started cleaning?
Two ideas I use with clients:
1. Pretend you are in your best friend's house for 30 minutes (set a timer!)
Do what you would do for her.
See dishes in the sink? Load them in the dishwasher.
See a pile of clothes on the floor? Toss them in the hamper.
Leftovers in the fridge need to be tossed? Do it "for her."
Treat yourself as good as you do your best friend!
2. Pick a number, any number. Your number might be 4.
Go into any room of your home and do 4 things related to cleaning.
For example, in your bathroom you might do these 4 tasks (keep count!)
ONE: Put the caps on opened containers: toothpaste, shampoo, shave cream, medication
TWO: Pick up things (clothes, towels, brushes, hair dryer)
THREE: Spray and wipe things (toilet bowl, sink, tub, counters)
FOUR: Empty trash can
Then try to keep going in another room (the bedroom, the laundry room, the garage, etc.)
Good Luck! http://www.metropolitanorganizing.com
