Spring is nature’s transformative time of the year outdoors. The result is majestic beauty. Thus, let’s add the beauty of springtime to the inside of our homes with a deeper-than-usual spring cleaning approach that goes beyond the ongoing tidy-up routines.

Getting Started:

A Motivating first strategy is to take a before-picture of a room using your cell phone before cleaning it. Here is a moment of truth: Certainly, any cluttered room will not photograph well. If the photographed room is a visual representation to your liking, the next step is to clean it.

Are you searching for the motivation to clean? Form a mental image of your desired result, room by room. During the cleaning process, take pictures to view your accomplishments as you complete sections of a room. Finally, your inspiration to continue and finish is anticipating the final after-picture of your desired result.
