    Motivational Deflator!

    Power down your computer. It seems as though I can still hear my computer calling me from the other room, even when it's idle! That's why it is important to just shut it down completely.

  2. Step 2

    Get your wash cloth, soap & water then give your face a good washing. Not only will this help to wake you up, it will make you feel so good.

  3. Step 3

    Turn on your radio to the music of your choice. The more upbeat the better. By now you should be in the swing of things. Before you know it your house will be sparkling clean and smelling fresh.

  4. Step 4

    Now you can turn that old computer back on and connect with the world.
    You may just be feeling so good you won't even want to turn it on! Yeah, and what planet am I on?

Tips & Warnings
  • Stay focused.
  • Keep moving, once you stop it just might be too hard to get going again.
  • Don't turn on your computer on until you take your shower or you may not get that far.
  • That will result in many a lost friend.

on 10/27/2009 Hi,
Very good tips. People are not generally motivated to do anything. So motivation is crucial.
Thanks,

on 10/27/2009 So true! Do not break for lunch or dinner ... just keep pushing on. Otherwise, once you stop, it will be that much harder to start up again. Good tips!

on 10/27/2009 Very good article about how to get motivated to do housework. Depriving yourself of the computer would do it for most of us!!!!! If I had somebody telling me I can not get on the computer until I have the house clean, it would be clean in an hour!!!!!
5 stars. Recommended you!
