How Do You Make Housework Fun?

Written by Jan Ferrante

Housework.

Fun?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I kid you not.

Housework can be fun.

And making it something that you look forward to can be one of the best ways to be sure that it gets done.

how do you make your housework fun?

My favourite way is to use my BOOST Housework Circuit.

Why?

Because I get to check off each quadrant as I go. It just never gets old.

I love it!

The number one answer?

You know what the number one answer seems to be?

Music.

I agree. I also like music. It really gets the pace up and makes the time pass quicker, and can really enhance the atmosphere and mood.

I also like to listen to audio books or podcasts on my ipod.

It turns that time into 'me time' in a way because it's my time to tune in to what ever is interesting me at the moment.

Create Your Own Housework Journal

I am finding that taking pictures really is giving me more incentive to keep at it.

One reason is that it looks a lot worse in a picture than it seems to when you are in the same room, day after day. I guess that the new view is a real eye opener.

The other reason is that it looks really good when it's finished in a picture too.

And you can also see clearly where some renovations or minor repairs or spruce ups can be a really nice touch.

It's a little like looking at your house through new eyes.

If you haven't, get out your camera and give it a try.

If you want to share your pictures go to the iShine Community and post them on your own blog.

You can have a lot of fun there by creating your very own housework journal.

Record your progress.

Your wins and your losses. It can be an awesome tool to keep you on track.

And having some community and feedback can work wonders.

Don't be shy!
