How to Trick Myself into Cleaning my House

3/16/2016 (Permalink)

I am a messy person by nature.

But I really do enjoy my house more when it’s tidy, so here are some of my tips for motivating myself to clean–the main ways I trick myself into getting into cleaning mode…

1. Pick up flowers from the grocery store
2. Play some fun music–right now, I’m playing a lot of the Anthem Lights channel on Pandora, it’s a bunch of great covers–you’ll LOVE it!
3. Move furniture–when I move my furniture around (something I always enjoy because #crazy) I always end up seeing the mess with new eyes which for some reason gives me motivation to clean
4. Set a timer–it’s amazing what I can get done in 20 minutes when I hear that timer ticking
5. Focus only on surfaces and floors–clear off the tables and counters–use that steamy hot rag, then sweep and mop the floors–nothing else, sorry, it’s the rule!
6. Invite someone over in an hour–your own personal blackmail
7. Buy some new yummy cleaning supplies–because I can’t resist good smells

Y’all, I fall for it every time!
