what motivates you?

I am having a really really lazy day and I need to get my butt moving on cleaning my house but I seriously cannot find the motivation AT ALL. DH is outside doing yard work, DS is with his grammy so I literally have no excuse. I started a load of laundry and have been slowly cleaning all week so its not a horrible mess but everything needs picked up, bathroom cleaned, bedroom cleaned (this room IS a horrible mess) and laundry caught up on (which= at least 7 loads if not more).

Any ideas of something that would make this cleaning less painful? ugh! I just want to lay in bed and watch a movie and snuggle with DH but company is coming in town tomorrow so it just has to get done.

    I'm not going to be any help here, nothing motivates me. My house is so bad that I gave in and hired a cleaning lady to clean my house next week!

    Nothing motivates me. Seriously, I don't know what happened, but I haven't been motivated to do much of anything this entire pregnancy. Not work, not housework, not anything.

    No help here.  I am working from home and thinking about how I need to clean up a bit before my friend comes to cut my hair at 4....yet I am on the couch with my feet up, bumping and working and NOT cleaning a thing.

    I was actually on my way to post this same question for that reason :)

    Music.  It helps make things go by so much faster.  Also, timing yourself.  If you set a timer for 10 mins and do specific things in each room for that amount of time - that helps sometimes.

    I agree with the music. I crank my iHome and turn into a cleaning fool. Haha! Big Smile

    our house is a mess too...i'm on bed rest and the doctor told me i'm wasn't allowed to clean which drives me crazy because it's left to my DH. he's extremely messy and doesn't clean until i get frustrated enough to get up and start cleaning myself.

    the things that motivate me to clean is my OCD, boredom and annoyance of it being messy. sorry i'm not much help. but if all else fails if it's still not clean play the "I'm pregnant!" card with a pout and rub of your belly no husband can win that argument! (i'm joking of course)
