Does anyone else hate cleaning? How do you motivate yourself to do it?

My bedroom is always a mess.  So is my kitchen!  I try to set aside one task.  At 11:25 I'll clean the kitchen.  Or I sit my baby in her high chair for breakfast, and while she's eating I'll clean.  Then when she's done, so am I.  :)\nI also clean my room, then buy a new lampshade, picture, or something to make me want to keep it clean.  Or if I find something in a store, I will clean my room before I buy it so it won't go into a messy room.

I don't really want to talk to you, but I can sympathize...I don't wash my hands all the time, but I will leave for work and come back into my house multiple times to ensure I've unplugged my hair dryer...or at night, I'll go out on the balcony multiple times to ensure I've actually turned off my BBQ after using it...same thing with the oven.

Where do you live? also... What type of cleaning?\n\nFlyers are useless.. and you are going to really struggle if you are not specific enough.

I am supposed to be cleaning this pit of a house in time for my husband's relatives to come over for Thanksgiving. This, I hope you realise, is no mean feat due to the fact that it is such a mess that if burglers broke in, they would think the place has already been burgled. Since I am not American and only my husband's family are coming over (none of my realtives) and I get stuck cooking the meal (by relying heavily on a cookbook) I say "Sod It, let my husband clean the house!" Hence I am most certainly procrastinating!

Strangely, I enjoy cleaning the kitchen.  When there's a big mess, I just start and one end and continue down the entire counter until everything is put away and wiped down.  There's something rewarding about watching a mess disappear in my wake.

Look, I know you have a sh*tty job that doesn't pay you sh*t but there are some pretty sh*itty people in this world that appreciates all the sh*t you go through to make their sh*tting experience a clean one, just try not to take to much sh*t because you will end up flushing your life down the drain!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, i did. i hate it when people hate showering. it's not that hard to keep clean and you don't have to use too much water either.\nthis one guy would shower once a week. and this one time, he was walking home from school he needed to take a pee, but he thought he'd let just a little bit out and finish the rest when he got home.\nAn important lesson in life: never negotiate with your bladder - it makes no compromises. Once it's coming out, it ain't stopping so hold on until you're safe. It's a one way valve. Anyway, I guess ppl who hate to shower are also these sorts of ppl as well.

If he is wasting your time cleaning up after him, try wasting his time. Take away privileges, and this should wake him up. He should know better than to do this when it is not his house but yours. Tough parenting, is just that. You only have 3 more years to make him a responsible adult. If you are tough now it will pay off. He may hate you now, but will love you for it later. \nGive him his living space for trashing as long as he doesn't do it to the rest of the house and just make him shut the door. When his room starts to stink, so will his cloths and his friends will let him know. Then maybe he will wake up and respect you and your house.

for starters, stop posting messages on the internet. \n\nI use something called Delayed Gratification. You have to condition yourself to save the easy or enjoyable tasks until you have completed the more difficult or mundane ones. Or if all of your work is terrible, then tell yourself you will not chat online for at least an hour, or until you finish XYZ task. Then reward yourself with something fun, or at least something easy. Then repeat.\n\nVery often the things you dread doing and put off are not so bad once you start them.\n\nGood luck.

I like to clean the house in general.  It gives me time to really think about stuff.  It relieves stress too.  Also, sometimes I use it as an excuse to put off other stuff :)\nLike, work. (I'm a freelance writer.)
