I tried to clean out my closet last month. I got most everything out of the closet and lost motivation. Most of my closet is still scattered around my room a month later. Maybe next weekend…
The cool part is if you wait long enough you totally don’t even notice it’s scattered around like a wreck. Putting your pants on in one place and grabbing a shirt across the room in a pile just starts to feel normal.
I feel personally attacked…
I started cleaning out my bedroom after I bought a new desk on black Friday. Emptied and dismantled my old, crumbling desk and found myself with a lot of displaced stuff that I didn’t know what to do with.
It kind sat there in boxes for a few months till I was in the mood again after the new year and holidays were over with.
Yesterday I grabbed some storage bins from the store… Now it’s all plastic rubs instead of boxes. Not sure if that’s an improvement. Slowly getting there I think.
This is why I pick one area to clean really well and then see how I’m feeling after that. It’s the only way I’ll ever eventually get the whole house clean lol! Once I see how much better that one spot looks it usually motivates me to clean the area next to it. If I try to do everything at once I’ll just get overwhelmed and quit after an hour
I do exactly this, but I also live with a husband and our two young kids, so by the time I make it to, say, the family room, the kitchen is just as in need of a clean as when I started the process. It’s tough, even with a system.
I get really motivated to clean on slow days at work and when I get home, I immediately get too exhausted to do anything. I hate it so much.
Yep. I either get motivated right before I have to leave for work or think about all the things I need to get done and am motivated to get them done… Until I actually get home. I’ll do it later…
I worked from home today and did dishes on my lunch. I was going to clean after work, but two fence contractors said they could come give me an estimate for fencing my yard and that took all the energy from me. 💀
Yeah I feel like I’m busting my butt all day at work, keeping things neat and clean and organized. By the time I get home I just want to chill.
Even oh my days off, I’m just too worn out.
Funnily enough, whenever I take vacation time, I find myself in the mood to clean by the third or fourth day.
My parents could never understand why I refused to clean the rest of the house after I cleaned my room
That’s when you flop onto your clothes and stuff for a little siesta. You will totally get back to it after a little rest.
I make the mistake of sitting at my computer with a nice drink thinking after a quick sit, I’ll get back to it.
Then I get hungry and get lunch instead. But then I feel kinda sluggish so I have another sit at the computer. But then it’s dinner time and by the time I’m done cooking something up, it’s already late evening and I figure I need some me time… And there went the day.
We live in a pile now honey. Just go with it.
