Basically, the good thing i find is that you are encouraged to just do something, that may be just cleaning your sink, but once you are up and doing that small thing, everything else just follows iyswim?
A few small tips (well, things that have really helped me) are: the timer for decluttering, and using a 'dirty' (one about to go in the wash) towel to clean the bathroom floor, just damp it in the kids bathwater, then run it round the floor, Voila, bathroom floor is clean, without needing to bring up the mop, bucket, broom etc. Also the swish and swipe - after brushing your teeth, run a cloth round the sink, rinse and dry, takes 1 min, sink is always clean, same principle after a bath.
I found i was writing more and more complex lists, trying to motivate myself, but now i just look to see what the Fat Fairy has told me to do and do it
