So what can we do to make our chores less of a pain in the you-know-what??
- Do the chore for about half an hour then take a five-minute break.
- Pump up the jams! Music can actually calm you down or energize you, depending on what type of music you choose. We recommend keeping it locked in to 105.1 The Bounce!
- If you set small, doable cleaning goals, you won’t get overwhelmed by the work.
- Treat yo’ self! You might not get the thanks you deserve for all the work you put into your home, so thank yourself! A reward like a special treat, a nice glass of wine or a dollar store shopping spree is the least you can do for you!
