Eurg as I said in a thread yday my mum's gone away and the house looks like a bombs hit it but thing is, I've been sat here aimlessly doing nothing 'cause I really can't get myself motivated to clean up.

Are you good with tidying up or are you kinda like me and just shove stuff under your bed out of sight?

I'm a lazy person, I'll tell you that.
When I get told to tidy (Alone) I do a half Job
When my dad is around he will make me do every bit of the house!

If I don't, the punishment is either 'You're going to be grounded of your laptop for a week+'
So..

Mmm my kitchen has got to the point where I physically can not even make any food in their because it's such a mess, I've just about cleaned up everywhere else but I'm avoiding that kitchen so bad!

I don't.
I honestly don't believe my room is ever messy enough to actually need to be tidied. I've got quite a large room and I'm not the type of person that throws things down on my floor when I've lost interest in them. I will always put them in a place that means they don't look messy. Whenever I'm changing my room layout, I'll go through everything in my room and get rid of useless junk, but that useless junk never seems to clutter or make a mess of my room. :P

I shove my headphones in and get on with it. One I've started I won't stop till I've finished.

The same as this really, music makes it less painful.

I normally just clean the house every Friday to save my mum doing it!

I'm quite obsessed with having things look tidy, especially in the office at work and I go round tidying up after everyone and straightening things etc. At home not so much, but if I see something that looks too messy I'll tidy it etc. Music does help! :)

The only tidying I like is testing pens to see if they still work and polishing. Sometimes hoovering because it means I get to cover the floor in shake 'n' vac.

I don't like tidying my dad or mum usually shouts at me and my sister to tidy. However, when my sister gets blamed I do too (from my dad) but my mum says it's not Samantha don't take it out on her. Like I usually wash up everytime I eat whereas my sister doesn't but suddently I'm bone idle/bone Rodney etc.

Visitors, smell, or the knowledge that I have something even more boring needing to be done.

I'm a tidy person in general, but if I'm having a mega house clean up I just blast some tunes out and get on with it!

I never can be bothered to tidy up but ever since I went to uni, I don't really let me room get messy but it takes a lot of motivation for me to actually hoover my room! It's really bad, I tend to do it if i've got something worse to do like an assignment :P

Once I start I don't stop til' it's done :P (giggidy) generally my room is a mess for quite a while before I do something about it though.

I like having my room looking tidy, cause if everything's on the floor i can't find anything! :(


Music does help though!

Ha I love cleaning and tidying (yeah, freak, I know)

Though if I don't feel like it, I always get motivated by the nice, clean and shiny end result.

Just think of it as one thing at a time. You tidy one thing, even if it's putting one single object away, it's one thing less to do. Just do it in small amounts. Or, clean up as you go along. Or don't make a mess in the first place :P

my room will get messier and mesier until i cant take it anymore and i do a massive clean up

Ashley

I don't, my room is usually an organised mess. Sometimes when I've exhausted absolutely everything there is to do in my house and I'm bored beyond belief, then I might resort to tidying it.

If I have a piece of work due in that usually gets me tidying. The only time I tidy is if I am procrastinating :P

Cerys

My mum doesn't generally make me tidy anymore, so I don't do it often xP
But if I do, I just throw everything into a cupboard. My motivation is; If I do this, I can go back to watching TV :3

My motivation is pretty simple... Do it and you can go back onto the laptop :)

I hate being disorganised so that's my motivation to tidy up and that way it's easier to find stuff as well.

wine+comfy outfit = sleep for me


i was sitting there for like 2 hours today staring at my pile of unpacking, genuinely feeling sorry for myself. managed to get it done by playing my party playlist and getting active!!

I find the loud music vs. the wine cancels each other out. LOL. Until I hit the bottom of the bottle ofc.
