When I have days like that, I go to U tube and watch old “How Clean is Your House” episodes. We don’t have cable (and in some rooms no longer have a few local channels, since we haven’t bought converter boxes and some channels already mad the switch) so I can’t watch it on cable. But I can be in a real housecleaning rut, watch ten minutes of that show (usually the opening credits) and I am up scrubbing something with bleach and a toothbrush. I watch a little, scrub a little, watch a little and then end with a bath, because I usually feel real dirty when I am done. LOL

Nothing motivates me like thinking if I don’t do it we would have to live like that. SHUDDER

Thank you for this. I am in a funk that makes me feel that if I can’t be productive, why bother? I needed to hear this!

with a.d.d. i’ve found that if i’m not going anywhere i get more done, but if i have to leave the house for any reason, i get nothing done for the day!

so realizing i was behind, as usual, i arranged for someone else to take my child to piano today…….and i got stuff done!

I wish I could get more done, cancer can just kick my #@&, but I do manage by just doing a little at a time. Your right about the timer. I set my alarm to wake me up, not like I get out of bed but hey, at least Im awake right? Next step is getting dressed…wait a min. I dont be any where today so who cares. Jammies are comfy and my slippers are stinky. Just the way I like it lol! From that point on I just take it one step at a time. It all gets done…..eventually. First things first tho, let the dogs out and feed them. If I dont they will bug me to death and stare at me like Im a pork chop.

Thanks! Today is a productive day, but I’ve had way too many of those other days. It’s just too easy to get sucked into fun things and ignore the laundry and dishes and moving boxes.
