Well, I have just about two more weeks until university starts back up. I guess it means lots of free stuff for Orientation week.

But it means I should really get my ass back into a good routine of cleanliness and organisation. Unfortunately, neither of those attributes are strong in my personality, making it hard for me to have any motivation to do ether.

So yes, this is a little rant about me, being cynical about myself.

I hate that I can't really find the motivation to just, clean. I have so much shit in my house I don't need, use or just gets in the way, but I never have the "time" to clean it up. I don't really want to keep it, I just don't mind it being there.

I see other peoples pristine houses with their nice carpets and neat clothing, and I'm nothing like that. I would much rather sit here, blogging about how much I hate the fact I don't clean, instead of cleaning.

Well, I guess this is some goddamn motivation for me then!

  1. TLC,

    Nice blog. A lot of what I write is dedicated to self-improvement and it looks like you want to improve. I'm thinking about a post about cleanliness. To put it simply, unless you've learned a habit of cleanliness from a young age, it's hard to keep everything clean.

    My advice to you would be to make little steps. Instead of taking off your clothes and throwing them on the floor, hang things up or put them in the laundry basket. It's a small step that takes a few extra minutes per day, and tends to make a big difference.

  7. Well.....you obviously feel a bit anxious about being untidy. You seem to envy the orderliness of those who are neat - putting things in order can have a calming effect...... Throwing out rubbish can be both refreshing and cathartic. Why don't you have a half day to spring clean then just gauge if you feel any better for it. You'll never know if you never try!

  9. I've never really been organized but I still seem to get along and make my own way of finding/getting what I need.

  10. Bah, I'm sort of similar and I get along just fine! As long as you know where everything is within the mess, that's all that counts right? haha. Of course getting cleaned up doesn't hurt...

  11. If they live alone, or have lived alone for the most part, I don't think most people have that inner urge to clean up. But if they personally feel responsible for the home(not simply expected to clean it) then they do have that motivation.

    Some people get that sense responsibility from supporting their spouse, or from being financially stable, or from their children. We can't really even know what that might be for us individually until we already have it.

  12. I find similar motivation problems, cleaning is just something I really don't enjoy.
