hi dj,
I have always wanted to be clean and organized, I value it very highly. I struggled with this continuously; my sister the other day reminded me of what I used to tell her as to why the place wasn't clean. I'd scream (we constantly fought about housework), 'of course there's an excuse, if there wasn't an excuse, the place would be clean'.
I even had the audacity to treaten my last boyfriend that I would leave if he didn't get a cleaner in twice a week...that is to clean up after me.So this is what works for me. It's simple and ridiculously silly. Go get a timer from a hair supply place - at least this is where I got mine. For 12 minutes a day, I clean intensely. that's it, I don't even have to think about it again for another 24 hours. The only time I clean more than12 minutes is when I have to do a washing or scrub a floo. Once a week, I do my finances. simple and takes all the grief away. Janice
