I have family coming this weekend, so it is time to get into the sewing/guest loft space and tidy up and get rid of some things. I hate doing it too. Why do we all find this such a chore?

The best tips that I have are:
1. Make a small list of things to do...even if they are just tiny things...and no more than 5 or 6 chores on the list.
2. Turn on some of your favorite music. Dance music from the early 60s works for me...Motown!
3. Set a time for 15 minutes, start up the music and get moving.
4. Stop at the end of 15 minutes...you're done. You are not allowed to do any more unless you really feel that you can make and fulfill the commitment to do another full 15 minutes.

I try to do this, but somehow, some way, I seem to find a way to still procrastinate. Go figger.
