[quote=Anonymous]OP- I'm terrible at this stuff. Here is a strategy that works for me. Set a timer-- 15-20 minutes. Turn on some motivational music. Choose one task (dishes, folding laundry, organizing toys). Work on that until it's done or the timer goes off Take a break Set the timer and music again Continue with same task or, if finished, start a new one Smaller versions of this process due on the week and a cleaning morning or afternoon on the weekend My son has ADHD and I suspect that I do too-- not suggesting that is your issue, but cleaning is one of the least rewarding tasks. Some decorating and organization also increases motivation. Rearranging things, setting up better systems, occasionally buying a nice item for the house etc. can help with incentive. When one thing is nice, I tend to want to improve other areas of the house. [/quote]
