It is an awesome one off guide for revealing the simple method to declutter your home without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got cool results with it.

      I've found if you associate something with cleaning it helps a lot. I bought one of those liquid potpourri things and whenever I light it I clean,blow it out when I'm done. It's a drag in the beginning but eventually your body just goes into autopilot and starts cleaning the second you light the candle

      Madeeha Naqeeb: This is such a liberating thought process! Often a messy house is the product of excessive perfectionism. Breaking away from the idea that everything must be fully, perfectly clean at all times to really “count” allows me to do what I can when I can without feeling inadequate.

  • @magentacolors967

    Once I get motivated I bring in an empty laundry basket into my room and grab random stuff and put as much as I can in the basket and set it on my bed. I have my hamper, and a trash bag around me and I go to town on everything in the basket. Then once I empty the basket, I repeat until my room is clean. I just figured out that this is my favorite way to clean and it makes me so happy and it makes it easier to clean.

    So I'm a pre-teen who is having someone over in 3 days, but my room is a mess due to re-doing it and having less places to put everything. I also get anxious around big messes, and get distracted easily. I can only really make my bed without getting distracted. So I looked up how to get motivated to clean. I'm about to try a few of these tips to see which one works for me

    Along the idea of having new cleaning products or gadgets to keep motivated, I do the same thing for cooking. If you get a new recipes magazine or cookbook it can give you a new spark. You can get cookbooks from the library, I love looking through new cookbooks that famous and popular cooks/chefs have written. We have to use our little 'tricks' to keep up with our monotonous chores. Thanks for another nice video.

    I'm a young guy living in a off grid tiny home, very easy to get messy, very hard to motivate to clean, but about to power through it all! After watching this video I will:
    -Set a 10m timer for each section
    -Listen to audiobook - Stormlight Archive
    -Reward myself with glass of wine
    -Goal: Imagine how nice it will feel for my partner when they come home to a clean dwelling after a 12 hour night shift
    -Light some incense after (my partner has done this for me when she cleans it feels really good to come home to a clean AND good smelling home)

    i personally have really bad anxiety, so when the house is a raging dumpster fire, it's hard for me not to dwell on how overwhelming all the cleaning will be, which makes me shut down and not do anything. so my personal tip is to put on one of your favorite shows in the background, preferably something comedy, to keep your mind in a positive state 😊

      @suzannepottenger2453 4 роки тому +1

      I have anxiety as well, and I get overwhelmed when I look at all the piles of messes everywhere. I have a lot of cleaning and catch up to do. Now that everyone is being encouraged to stay home (Corona), I don't have any excuses not to get my home cleaned.and organized. Truth...I am finding that I am procrastinating cleaning because I am afraid of the mess! I feel as though, deep down, I believe "it's" (cleaning the mess) too much for me. I don't want to fail! Why is it so difficult??
      I just have to start...and, it will help having a comedy on tv to help distract me.

    • @flcxflc
      @flcxflc 4 роки тому +1

      @@suzannepottenger2453 I feel like we have very similar mindsets. it is indeed a "fear" of sorts. a fear of what exactly? who knows. well, I have an idea. it's that fear that i'll realize, as I'm cleaning, all the other steps that have to be taken in order for me to feel satisfied with what i've done. like, as I'm doing dishes, I'll realize "oh. I don't actually have to just do the dishes. i have to disinfect the surfaces, sweep, and mop too." otherwise the kitchen isn't actually "clean." i have that realization far too many times and it's more often than not enough to disengage me from the process entirely. what i need to remember is that simply not doing anything, saving everything for a cleaning spree at a later time, is way worse than just dealing with it and doing the half hour - hour I need to do now.

    I looked up motivation to clean as kind of a joke, and now I’m actually kind of excited to clean! Thanks so much. These were very helpful tips.

    @rachaelmurphy6504 6 років тому +1

    Great tips! Another thing I do is get the kids involved when I can - they clean up their own toys and their rooms but also I find they're very pleased if you give them a cloth and a pail of soapy water to wash the cabinets, walls, baseboards, whatever you have that you want them to wash (and these are jobs I wouldn't typically get to myself so even if they don't do it perfectly, which they won't, it'll still be better than it was!). I also get them to do little jobs like organizing the shoes in the mudroom or putting things away where I tell them. I usually have them each doing different jobs because I find if they try to do a job together it's far more likely to end in a mess or a fight. Thankfully my kiddos are still at the age where they think it's fun to help mom! We'll see what happens as they get older haha 😬

    I love these tips, Emily! Thank you so much! I have been home with my first baby for a few months now and keeping on top of cleaning is the one part of being at home that really makes me anxious. My husband is great at helping, but mess bothers him less, since he is at work all day. Will try the timer and audio book ideas and buying some nice smelling products, to see if they motivate me to do get into more of a regular routine! :)

    I love watching your cleaning videos!! I'm also so much more willing to get stuck in once I watch your cleaning videos. I really like the way you explain the steps you take or helpful hints/hacks in your videos. It's spring here in Australia so this has definitely inspired me to do a spring clean. Might go back and watch some more of your cleaning videos. :)
