I struggle. The days that the house is clean, I haven't accomplished anything else. When I've accomplished other things, the house is a mess. If I work in the yard, the house suffers. If I work in the house, the yard suffers. I can't seem to find that happy medium.
I know it's not the most important thing in the world and that spending the time with my kids, teaching them, playing with them, is by far more important. But I love it clean. You would think it would be enough to motivate me. Right now, this picture would look very different. There is a beehive (empty of course) in the middle of the room, flowers that were picked from outside on the floor, books on every cushion of the couch and it's dusty. I need to just go do it. But really, if you have a way that works for you, tell me about it. I want to see if it works for me. Not just cleaning either; organizing, cleaning, keeping it clean, whatever.
