ok, here's my delimma, (not that i can spell it) : I need to clean house... Desperately. I NEED to start in the kitchen, or at least downstairs (i do in home daycare, among other things, and need to have my house presentable) BUT I'd rather clean out my closet and organize it. What should I do? The things I NEED to do that don't interest me? Or the Thing I WANT to do that might provide me with motivation to continue, but will take at least all evening to accomplish? ![](http://gi252.photobucket.com/groups/hh28/1IO3E0AI9A/washingdishes.gif) or HELP!!!!!! What works for you all? Comingclean

Here's my suggestion: 1- Find a timer. 2- Set it to 15 minutes. 3- Work on your closet for 15 minutes (only pull out as much as you can put back in the same amount of time!) 4- Work on your kitchen for 15 minutes. 5- Alternate kitchen and closet for as long as you're willing and able, without forgetting to take water breaks every hour or so. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/GuBQQkiwyXxnHbJKesLq.gif) Best of both worlds. Also, go easy on yourself if the closet isn't "finished" tonight. It didn't get cluttered overnight, after all! ~Mouse
