#TipsTuesday | How to Motivate Yourself to Clean

You like a tidy house, but can’t find the energy to clean. We know how you feel - cleaning isn’t the most exciting task. But even for those who don’t mind spending hours doing so, there are a few things you can do to make it a little more enjoyable:


Turn on some tunes. Create a playlist just for cleaning, that way you might find a little more inspiration to get up and move around. Not to mention, playing upbeat music can put you in the zone and set the pace for a quick tidy-up. 

Trade tasks with a friend. Sometimes helping someone else clean is easier than cleaning for yourself. So ask a close friend to switch things up - offer to fold their laundry if they mop your kitchen floors.

Reward yourself. Rewarding yourself is often a good tactic when you need some motivation. So make a deal that you will watch your favorite TV show or treat yourself to a delicious dessert only after you tidy up what needs to be taken care of.

Try an audio book. A great story can be a good distraction. And while you might not be able to read a book while cleaning, you can certainly plug your headphones in and start an audio book. You can even turn it into a routine that you do weekly, even if that means you only get through one chapter.

Don’t put supplies away. If putting your cleaning supplies back where they came from is one extra task you’d rather avoid, then keep them out. But if having them lay around makes your head spin, you can place them on a shelf in one location rather than storing them in several different cabinets.
