I love this idea! That way, you know there is an end in sight, so it doesn't feel like a never-ending task. I'm going to try this, thank you!Helpful Reply -

Have heard this tip before and I should remember it, as I sometimes procrastinate also on jobs that are not my favorite. Thanks for the reminder.Helpful Reply -

Essential life tip for those of us who are wired to procrastinate! THANK YOU 😊Before TV came with a fast-forward button, we had a ball with the kids while getting the house in order. We did what we called "Commercial Cleaning". Each commercial all five of us would mad dash around the house putting things away, wiping down surfaces, etc. Then they'd mad dash back to the living room as the show resumed. The kids would laugh and fall into place in front of the TV.Good times and one of my many favorite memories! ... And a very effective way of getting the work done!Helpful Reply -

I know approximately how long my different "chores" will take and budget my time with them accordingly. Once I have finished those projects I then can concentrate on other projects that I am working on. Whatever works for the individual is the correct way of accomplishing the task at hand (in my humble opinion).Helpful Reply -
