Hello rose76, I was very glad to read your response. I am happy that you are observing your method on how to shorten your waiting time to complete a house task. I myself need to push myself to motivate myself to do my house task too and it's mostly mental drive to push mr to do the task. I am happy you could understand me smd and can relate to me without making fun of me where I could feel comfortable expressing my concern over my problem of delaying a house cleaning task. Do you think you may be able to find a motivation startup idea that will make us complete the house task? I remember it was a reason that a guest was coming to my house and it made me clean or work or complete my delayed house task before the house guest came. Perhaps it is the "rewards ideas system" at the end that might help us get up and do the house task? Maybe a positive response from another household family member(s)? Maybe treat ourselves to a homemade aromatherapy good smelling aroma around the house? Maybe it is the desired relieved feeling we get after cleaning or working on house task? The reward at the end has to be very real to us that would make us get up and do it? Kind regards, SaraC
