yes you can try putting some music on. that always works for me. give that a shot. play your favorite kinds of music or just play your cd's on a boom box or off your computer.

i listen to my i pod or CD player the best thing for me is to have the music extremely loud so i get really in the mood. maybe pick a song JUST for cleaning tell your self "i can only listen to this one fav. song if i clean something" trust me, it works!

Turn the computer off, and keep it off until you finish cleaning. I like to listen to music while I clean, so you can try that.

If neither of those help, try cleaning it gradually. Like, picking up the clothes on the floor, then check the computer. Then make your bed and dust, then get a snack or whatever.

Hope this helps ;]

Ahhh, a procrastinator just like me. I, too am often and easily distracted by anything other than my task at hand (usually cleaning my house).


So, I created a playlist on my IPOD of songs that "pump me up". When it's time to clean, I make a deal with myself that no matter what, I will keep moving and cleaning for, at least, the first three songs.


Most of the time, once those songs are over, I'm in the groove and keep going. But, even if I stop after the first three songs are over, I've still accomplished what I set out to do, so I feel successful. Then, I feel proud of completing my goal instead of beating myself up for being a distracted slacker.


If you don't have an IPOD, playing your favorite music CD works just as well.


Best of luck to you.


Kind wishes,

put some music on. be determined. like say " i cant go to see billy if i dont clean my room!" or something like that. make yourself a goal. youll be more determined to finish up your room.
