How do I get motivated to do chores around the house? ?!


Question: How do I get motivated to do chores around the house.? .?
I made a chore list and finished part of it today. I am having my family over for Thanksgiving and have so much to do! I wanted to get an early start on the house but it's not going very well so far. I just feel so lazy and unmotivated. How do I make myself want to get off my lazy butt.?

I already tried listening to music and drinking coffee and still I just want to sit around! I am usually not like this but for some reason I just can't seem to want to get things done. Why do I feel so FREAKING LAZY.? I got enough sleep, I am healthy and I eat well etc....What are some other things I can do to get motivated besides music or stimulants.? Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Well, I had this same dilemma for years, because really, when you think about it, you are devoting like 20 hours a week to something as mundane as housework...uggghhhhhh

I tried drinking coffee,,,,drinking beer, listening to music, and on and on.....

Then about 3 years ago, I noticed that I feel very motivated to clean my house if I know someone will be coming over. I run around like a little tornado !!

So, now I just imagine ...that some important people are coming over...I keep thinking abotu while I clean. I have an active imagination so while I am cleaning I think all about this imaginary visit, who it will be, what we will do, etc. I still listen to music and drink coffee, but now I have this whole imaginary event planned on top of it !!

We will just have to wait and see how long that lasts,,, before that too gets boring. Hopefully by then my husband will let me get a cleaning service !Health Question & Answer

Set a timer, and do 15 minutes at a time, with a 15 minute break after. It may take longer, but it will not seem like so bad if you promise you're only going to do 15 minutes in one area. You can always go back and finish the next day. Health Question & Answer
