What do you do to inspire you to tackle household chores and or projects?
I like watching cleaning videos. I will put on my wireless earbuds and play a video on the tablet or phone and feel like I'm cleaning with a friend.
I will put on music. Again wireless earbuds and music.
It's crazy cause when family is home or night time I wouldn't play music so as not to disturb anyone. Duh, put on earbuds.
What do you do?

My littles are 5, 3, and 4 months so I’m most productive when my H takes them out of the house. I also like to sit down and make a list of every possible thing that needs to be done. My lists all end up looking the same but it helps me prioritize everything in my mind. I am going to check out cleaning YouTube videos now! |

I definitely need to check out some cleaning videos. Stuff like. That really puts me in the mood. My biggest issue is that I find it hard to keep up with the clutter during the week. So by the time, I out every thing away where it belongs, I do not have time for the actual cleaning. It's getting better now that DD2 is older and will sit and play in the high chair or excersaucer for a few minutes.

Every day I do GLAD +3
Started with the kids, would always tell them to make mom GLAD lol
Garbage
Laundry
Animals
Dishes
+ pick up 3 worst areas
I try to do a cycle thru rooms and chores both so eventually in the month all chores are done in all rooms.
Used to be I'd focus so much on doing all the parts to make one room perfect,
that the rest of the house would fall into horrible shape. So I kinda flitter about.
One day will be bedrooms focused next day bathrooms maybe.
and one day might also be horizontal surfaces or vacuuming in the whole house as the chore to focus on.
If I can't motivate,
then I switch gears completely and go do the ONE worst thing in each room, starting at the front door and main part of the house.
or write a list of 5 things I can see to do right now from where I sit and try to get them done in 5 minutes.
sometimes its loud dance music or a boring tv show on as background noise.
thinking of all the ways how I trick myself to do cleaning chores
it seems like I flitter about a lot. but I tend to get into one method and stay with it as long as it works.
and then make a screeching turn to something completely different to mix things up.
