How do I get motivated about housework?

Asked by Supacase (14563points) September 9th, 2009

I hate it. It is boring, repetitive and I get no sense of accomplishment from it. Having a cluttered house stresses me out and makes me feel terrible about myself. Also, since I stay at home it is more or less part of my job. My husband does help, but there is no doubt he gets frustrated with me at times.

Having a clean house makes me feel happy and relaxed, but apparently not enough to get off my ass and do it. I know this, yet the work to get there overwhelms me.

It isn’t like I can cross things off a list to feel like I’ve done something because you just have to put it back on the bottom of the list again (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, ugh!)
