I need motovation! ?

Question

I have a ton of house work that I need to get done today, and I just dont have the umph to get any of it done. I've been saying "okay I'll get some done" for 2 days now. But instead I am stuck on my bed watching TV and eating. So what can I do to help get me up and motivated to do something?

Answer 1

All you need to do is say ok, im going to do SOMETHING today, maybe not the whole thing but something....get right up and do ONE small thing like pick up something and put it away.  Now do that again.  Do it one more time and youll find yourself cleaning up a storm!  He he , this is how i get my husband to mow the lawn sometimes when he doesnt feel like doing it.. i say..just do the front part of the front yard and if you feel like it then you can continue but if not, its ok...he usually gets motivated from doing it and does the whole thing!

Answer 2

Invite people over for dinner for Friday or Saturday evening.

That always gets me moving fast enough and then when the house is finally in order, I feel like I have a nice little reward after the chores are done by having me some nice company over to help me celebrate all my lovely womanly talents.

Answer 3

Just get up and do it.

Answer 4

omg- this sounds like me... i go thru cleaning spurts, Im usually at my best cleaning right before my cycle. I tend to get motivated when Im having company, plan a get together, football seasons here ...or host a party of some sort. My a list room by room want you would like to get done, theres some sense of accomplishment when you can check things off. Let yourself get low on the groceries so you dont have anything to stop and munch on.

Answer 5

It sounds as though you are feeling a little guilty.  :-(  Do you have any pine cleaner?  For some reason, once I smell pine cleaner, the smell motivates me and I'm ready to clean!  I don't even use the stuff.  I just put some in some water, and it makes me want to clean.  Start out doing one room at a time.  Once you see how nice that room looks, you'll want to move on to the next.  I clean a little every night when I get home from work...mainly because my dog is shedding a lot right now...and I'm anal like that!  lol  Just try doing one room at a time.  You'll get through it.....AND feel better that you did it!  Good luck.
