I’m with Susie and MizFit. I wasn’t born with the Clean Gene (MWL- I commend you. I sometimes wish that I had the clean bug in me because I would then make it a priority).

When picking our priorities, I know that cleaning and fitness don’t have to compete for the same time blocks, but it sure does feel like one is sacrificed for the other.

Thank for the tip and sharing what works for you. I work out of my house and housework is the think that seems to come last ..unfortunately..It’s a work in progress. I am trying to decicate 15 minutes a day to decluttering and as a treat to myself..I do have a service once a week..but by the next day..you can’t tell they even came..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Have a good one.
