Im struggling and I notice I need to clean so I need motivation. Anyone have any tips that help you get it done maybe even enjoy it? I’m thinking music helps. Maybe getting my kiddos to help.

music helps me clean and also putting on something I like to watch I like to watch it while I’m doing laundry or sweeping and getting the kids to help to can make it less of a load on you .

Cleaning sucks, I hate it but surprisingly feel very good after I have done it and think maybe it isn’t so bad after all and what was the fuss all about…..but music definitely helps me as well!

A little motivation goes a long way. It’s time to do battle with the Dust Bunnies!

I find doing one room at a time helps me, then it’s not too overwhelming, getting the kids to help us a great idea too, make it fun and maybe they get a special treat when they’ve finished 👍

motivation is garbage! What do you need is compromise to yourself! One step at the time. Just for today I will do this, and I compromise to do it! And don’t think too much, just do it! Because of you star thinking you will sabotage yourself.

Definitely music. Upbeat and loud. Having the kids help is a great idea too. They might complain but it's something they need to learn. If my butt is really dragging I set a timer. After it goes off I usually keep going and finish what I'm doing.

I ended up getting a lot done before I got sick now I’ll have to rest and get back to it when I heal. I agree music sooooo works!
