Some days, the motivation to clean just doesn’t show up. You look around at the mess or think about the never-ending list of tasks, and instantly want to do anything else. Sound familiar?
The good news? You don’t have to wait for motivation to hit. With a few easy tricks, you can make cleaning a whole lot less overwhelming—and maybe even a little bit fun. Let’s get in and make this whole thing feel doable!
Tip #1: Start Super Small
Looking at a messy space can be daunting. So instead of thinking “I have to clean the whole room,” just pick one little thing—a junk drawer, a nightstand, or that one laundry pile you’ve been stepping around. Starting with a small task builds momentum, and you’re in the zone in no time.
Tip #2: Get a Morning Head Start
If you’re someone who has the most energy in the morning, take advantage of it! Fit in a quick cleaning task first thing and enjoy that “look what I already did today” feeling. And bonus, it sets the tone for a productive day ahead.
Tip #3: Try a Simple Cleaning Schedule
Winging it can get out of control. So, make a super simple schedule—like bathrooms on Monday, dusting on Wednesday, and floors on Friday. Doing it this way keeps cleaning from taking over your whole weekend.
Tip #4: Make It a Team Effort
You don’t have to clean solo! Get the whole household involved. Put on some music, hand out easy tasks, and turn it into a power-cleaning session. You’ll get things done faster—and maybe even have fun while you’re at it.
Tip #5: Turn It Into a Game
Yes, really. Set a 10-minute timer and see how much you can clean before it buzzes. Or challenge your partner, roommate, or kid to a “clean-off.” A little friendly competition can go a long way.
Tip #6: Keep Your “Why” Close
Why do you want a clean space? Maybe it makes you feel more chill, or maybe ot’s because you want a nice space for family and friends. Whatever your reason, reminding yourself of it can break the “ugh, I don’t wanna” urge.
Tip #7: Play Something You Love
Cleaning is so much more enjoyable when you’re listening to your favorite playlist, podcast, or audiobook. Bonus: You’ll actually look forward to cleaning time if it’s the only time you can catch up on your latest binge-worthy show.
Tip #8: Treat Yourself
You earn it. Reward yourself after a cleaning session—at least something as simple as a good cup of coffee, quiet time, or your favorite snack. Having something to anticipate makes the process of getting started easier.
