Where do you find motivation or inspiration from day to day? There is a lot to accomplish in a single day and sometimes we all need a little bit of encouragement to be as successful as possible.
A good pep talk or even a pat on the back can do a lot to improve your outlook. Then there are days when you just need a little extra sleep as a means to recharge. Maybe you need a few additional minutes in the gym to pump you up for an exceptionally hectic day?
I find that my source of motivation is constantly changing based on the day and of course the expectations.
When you are looking for ways to get inspired, don’t forget about the power of fragrance! An invigorating scent and a little music can immediately make me feel like a new person. I’ll be energized to tackle whatever the day throws at me. On the converse, when I need to unwind I simply choose a relaxing fragrance and some soothing music to help me wash away the stress of the day.

Knowing the house will be clean when I am finished is my motivation
In the morning I take a walk with my dog to get some fresh air and sunshine, have a good cup of coffee, make my To Do List for the day, and I’m ready to go!
I make a list and just take them one at a time, eventually they will all be done!
I get up with a good attitude and say Let’s get it done’
I’m a cronic list maker…so I make a list while having my morning coffee, then just take it one task at a time. Whatever doesn’t get done that day goes on the list for the next.
Lists! Because being able to check things off gives me a feeling of accomplishment
Like many other commenters, I am a list maker. It helps reduce my stress to write down of what I need to get done and then cross things off as I do them.
I make a list and cross things off when they are done. It gives me a plan for the day and a great feeling when something is crossed off the list.
I get motivated by practicing gratitude. I may not “feel” like doing the housework or grocery shopping, but then I think, how blessed am I, that I am able to afford to by my groceries! How blessed am I, that I have this wonderful house to clean! Makes everything a lot easier!
giving myself some me-time at end of day is the best motivation
I put things on my list that I’ve already done so I can immediately cross them off. So satisfying. I also put on running shoes to get me moving/cleaning around the house.
I make lists-helps me stay focused on tasks that need to be done-when I cross one off my list it motivates me to keep going.
I’m very organized, and everyday I manage my time in any task that I planned to accomplished.
Make lists! My husband teases me about how I have to make a list to accomplish anything. Also, I think it’s important to take a little time for yourself each morning to get into the right mind set. Even if it’s just 2 minutes to drink your coffee, it’s enough to center yourself for the day.
My wife…lol
Love having things done, fresh & clean (like my son says or my nickname is Exhausting)
I put on some music and get into it!!!!
Try to make my list the nite before.
By getting a good nights sleep.

I make a detail list and do it
Make a list, put on some music and tackle one thing at a time.
Waking up with a positive attitude
I put all of the quick chores at the top of a list and go through them first. Crossing them off makes me feel good so I feel motivated to tackle the longer chores at the bottom of the list. Nothing makes me happier than crossing everything off by the end of the day.
crossing off a go do list keeps me motivated through out the day. I feel productive. Coffee helps 🙂
Make a list of all to get done and check them off as I complete them.
My go to motivation to get things done around the house is caffeine and music. Works every time!
My motivation is like looking forwards to the weekend..getting it all
done everyday Monday thru Friday..then taking the weekend off for fun things..outside!
And, a clean house that’s uncluttered is so very mind clearing and peaceful for me.
I motivate myself by making a list and checking off each item as I complete it.
I make lists as well. I challenge myself to do many things in a day that matter to me and my household. 🙂

I make a hand written list each morning with my coffee- then work to get it all done. I find joy in getting the last item checked off!!

Like many others, I am a list maker. If items don’t get accomplished, next day
I’m a list maker. I feel like I’m making progress when I’ve marked something off.
As soon as my daughter leaves for school I get started. My goal is to be done by lunch. If I meet that goal, I treat myself to lunch at a nearby restaurant!
I look at my children. They need me to be motivated to do for them, If the laundry doesn’t get done, they don’t have clean clothes. If I don’t get up, they don’t get to school. If I don’t work, they don’t eat.
They motivate me.
I am a senior citizen with no children under foot. After breakfast I just have to pick up and relax with a good book.
Just start, then keep on rolling. 🙂
Turn the radio up, light a candle, and get going..
I get motivated by rewarding myself with a good cup of coffee!
Establish and follow a daily routine for minor tasks. This way when a larger task or unexpected item comes up the minor tasks do not suffer.
I’m addicted to air fresheners and a clean home. After I clean the house I just like to sit back and relax with a cup of coffee, There is nothing better than a nice clean smelling good home.
Keeping lists helps me stay focused! And the end results make me work faster and harder!
Listening to music motivates me 🙂
The 2 pm school pickup time is my motivation! I need it all done by then.
I set the timer on the oven for a 30 minute period. Then I rush around and get a lot done in that time. I usually don’t want to stop when the timer goes off!
Listen to music as I do my chores.
I make a list of the jobs that I want to get done that day,
Lists, lists and more lists!
I plan my time out in advance and stay focused.
I like to make a list and cross off the items accomplished on the list. As I start marking things off it motivates me to finish the rest of the items.
Make sure I had my vitamins and healthy foods for energy.
Turn on music and go!!!!
Lists and listen to music while cleaning.
I get motivated when I sleep good. I rise early and start my day by jogging. I also love to sing to myself in the morning. It puts me in a good mood and I have a happy start to each day.
Lately, it’s hard to motivated without coffee & some dance music from the 80’s!
I make lists and check off things as I get them done. I do a few chores a day.
I make a “to do” list every day. It keeps me from getting distracted. Plus the feeling of accomplishment when crossing off items helps motivate me to do more!
I have to do lists and I prioritize what needs to get done.
