And SMS, just to confuse you, I do the exact opposite of Whatru! :o) I prefer not to spend even 5 minutes after every meal in the kitchen washing up, but rather go thru the whole kitchen (both sinks, counter tops, etc…) once a day. We also do laundry once a week (washing, that is – folding takes a bit longer!), and I iron everything at once, usually at night, often outdoors!
One thing that gets me moving for “bigger” jobs – like getting rid of clutter, washing windows, etc… is inviting company! House must look good for the company, right? (of course, that only helps the downstairs!)
Probably my most disdained household job is cleaning out the fridge. A friend shared her tip – which I haven’t incorporated yet, but maybe it will motivate you more than it did me: She always cleans out her fridge just before her weekly big shopping. That way she knows what she really needs, and her fresh food goes into a clean fridge (and it doesn’t take too long, cuz it is done weekly!)
