04: Q&A: A Housekeeper and an Organizer Walk Into a Bar...

Today, we start with my take on a question that I get asked almost every day about how to keep from losing motivation to complete tasks, especially those simple ones like cleaning a room. If you’ve beaten yourself up over this struggle, then join me for a fresh perspective on cleaning your space! 

Show Highlights:

  • Why losing motivation to clean a room comes down to not realizing that tidying, organizing, and cleaning are three different projects

  • What is required to “tidy a room”: a five-step method

  • How organizing differs from tidying and cleaning

  • What the cleaning process entails

  • Why there’s nothing wrong with being a neat or messy person, but a functional level of organization is essential

  • How the tasks of tidying, organizing, and cleaning bring emotional barriers, especially for those with executive function disorders

  • Why we need to remember that these care tasks are morally neutral–and the only reason to do them is so we can function better
