Why Is It So Hard?
Posted: 12-28-07 10:15am

Cleaning! I can do it once I'm into it, but starting in the first place is just so hard. My apartment is such a mess! Our friends are coming tomorrow to stay with us for the night, and it's Rowan's birthday party is tomorrow so I can't clean then (it's not at my place), so I want this place clean by then but at this rate it's never going to happen.

Why does getting yourself to get up and clean have to be so hard!

i have a hard time getting started too, especially when i've let the place go for awhile and it's just wrecked. some people like to tackle the messiest room first to get it out of the way and go from there, but i like to start with the easiest because once i get 1 room done i start feeling better and it's easier to keep going. you'll feel good when it's all done though!

rowan's birthday?! i can't believe it!

Oh hun, you're not alone, first start with the laundry then the floor then, dust the furniture etc for me how and why I start is because someone said that my place was a pigsty.

The worst part of it all is, how short the cleanliness lasts! It seems like in no time it's back to where it started. Two hours ago I told myself I would start in 15 minutes! How bad is that.

I can't believe she will be one either! Well her birthday is actually on the 5th of January, but my sister isn't in town then so we're having it tomorrow. I don't have anything planned because I don't even know what to do with a bunch of little kids. All I know is I'm making food and feeding people.

I JUST cleaned not two days ago and our place is trashed. We were in a rush looking for some important info on the way to the store and did not have time to do it nicely. No I am paying for that today.

When I can get myself going, I can clean and clean..it's getting started thats the hard part. John and I are cleaning and re organizing this whole place and it wasn't easy to get started for me, he's really good at getting himself motivated and just getting stuff done, so that was kind of my motivation to get started..I hardly have any on my own.

Cleaning the house relaxes me as odd as that may sound. I love it. I could do without having to pick toys up 500 times a day but hey, could be worse I guess!

To some point I love cleaning the mess in my house but then when I see that it'll get dirty in a while about two hours after due to kids and the place that I'm staying it's windly and easily get dusty (I live on the 9th floor), I'll be screaming like a mad tarzan (the woman version) so is the bathroom I hate cleaning the spot in between the groves it'll get me scrubbing like last week for nearly two hours - even that I can't make it spotless clean arghhhhh! For the ladies who loves cleaning the toilet any tips for me to clean the spot in between the grove? I've tried the toilet cleaner with ammonium eeeeekh! It's stink!

i tidy and within a few hours it is a mess again. I just found a great way though of tidyng the floor cause i am a lazy bones. I get a sweeping brush and sweep anything that is on the floor into a pile. toys, clothes etc... just sweep it into a pile. then it is so much easier to just pick up and put away.

it gives you motivation too when you see the whole pile on the floor lol

It sure does especially after seeing a whole lot of garbge, after cleaning the house I feel happy. I always tell myself that if I want to start cleaning the house at 11 I'll start at 11 and not a minute late because by then I'll get lazy!
