I'm finding reading your 'tidy' lists quite motivating too - I'm trying to sort the house out before my op in two weeks' time and I haven't got very far!

I find a problem with making a list which says 'tidy living room': I think it's better to break it down into lots of little tasks, otherwise it seems overwhelming. Another problem I have is making decisions: I pick something off a pile, can't decide what to do with it so put it back on the pile and get dispirited.

I actually really really hate dirt, but I hate touching it much more than I hate looking at it, which is why I don't do cleaning!

It sounds like you're achieving loads - go you!

You are right of course. It's still at that stage in my list cos I haven't wanted to look at it much yet. Often in the living room I tidy particular bits of furniture (the coffee table gets totally full of stuff), so maybe I'll break it down like that.
