What did Kim do last week?
Do you find it hard to clean the house? Me too! Cleaning the house is really one of those jobs that never end. But I find some nice ways to motivate(激励) myself to do the housework.
Have less stuff(物品)
One of the good ways is to have less stuff at home so that there will be less stuff to keep clean and tidy. Every few months I throw away some things we don't need or use. There's truly less mess in the house.

Cleaning the whole house in one go can be really difficult. So I do a little each day. When the weekend comes, I've done everything I need to do. I don't need to spend the weekend doing the housework.
Start with the easiest task
When I have a lot of housework to do, I'll always start with the easiest task. I ask myself which one is going to be the quickest to finish. And that's the one I start with.
Make housework interesting
I love listening to music when I do chores. And the housework is done before I know it. I feel excited at the same time. It's a win-win.
Invite a friend to your home
I'll give you the best way to get motivated to do the housework. Invite a friend to your home. It's amazing how quickly you can clean the house when you know someone's coming over.
