[> I'm not sure if this qualifies as a tip... but I find it useful. When I have a big project, especially straightening or clearing out, and/or if I'm really tired or discouraged, I will tell myself to "take care of five things." (Inside) -- Deemus, 16:41:02 04/14/13 Sun [1]

Small a task as that is, it at least gets something started. I can come back by later and take care of five more things, and eventually, it makes a visible difference. I find that the bigger the job, the harder it is to get started on it. It's a lot harder to tell myself I don't have time now, if it's only five things.

[> [> that makes so much sense- when my room gets out of control - just clean off the reading chair (translation- catch all -lol) that makes the project look less daunting next time. -- chris k, 16:49:15 04/14/13 Sun [1]

[> [> I even do that when emptying the dishwasher.Put up 5 things and I usually do more, but I know I can quit if I want. Everytime I walk thru the kitchen. It seems silly but it works for me. Breaking things into smaller chores. -- manette, 09:55:24 04/15/13 Mon [1]
