I WASTE A LOT OF TIME procrastinating before cleaning... like a lot of lot of time... and just not living in a clean environment really affects my mood, my organization, and my well-being in general.... I've had this issue for a long time, any advice on just GETTING MYSELF to get started?
I am EXACTLY the same way! I have been in my apartment for 6 months now and i honestly think i've only cleaned my bathroom 3 times LOL But maybe its not something you need to change,i mean it isnt hurting anyone,and as long as you do it SOMETIME,who cares how often. If cleaning isnt enjoyable (even while listening to music,its hard to enjoy it,for me) then don't force yourself to try to enjoy it.

I never understood why people clean every day. I never understood "its Saturday,i have to clean the house" what?! Sure if company is coming over or if you havent done it in a month or two,but why do it if you dont REALLY have to? I admit i'm a procrastinator but my bills get paid,what NEEDS to be done gets done on time,i just enjoy my time as much as i can and i save the less desirable things for when they absolutely must get done. I say keep on doing what youre doing,cleaning is not that important in the grand scheme of things. And besides,if you clean every day or every week even,you dont get exposed to things that your body needs to get exposed to in order to fight off stuff. If you live in a sterile environment that is sooo not good!
