peppy3004 answered Saturday May 9 2009, 5:00 pm: 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!

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.
EnchantedSage answered Sunday July 6 2008, 1:52 pm: 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.
