I get overwhelmed sometimes by what I think I have to do. This tip helps me narrow it down to a manageable level, and I can do it for as long or as short as I like. Thanks for this useful tip!

Avoid House-Cleaning-A. D. D.
If I'm cleaning 1 room and find something that belongs in another room, I go to the other room and find myself cleaning in there. Instead, I now use empty laundry baskets to hold all the things that go in other rooms. When I'm done in room 1, I take the basket of stuff that belongs in room 2 and put them away, then room 3, etc. That way, I avoid running from room to room and I actually get at least 1 room completely clean! 334
