Make sure you’re still cleaning your room well. Being speedy doesn’t mean doing a half-hearted job.
Keep score of how many baskets you make. Try to beat your best score every time you clean. You’ll be a pro laundry baller in no time.
You can be poor Cinderella cleaning her wicked stepmother’s cobweb-filled chambers, or a spy on a mission to find a top secret document.
For a checklist that has more than six items, roll a pair of die. If you get a number that you’ve already done or one that’s not on your list, roll again until you do.
Make sure you pick up all your toys and clothes off the floor before you start skating!
These mini rewards should be much smaller than your final reward. You might reward yourself with a short break, a few minutes on Instagram, or a cold glass of juice. Make cleaning a weekly routine so it becomes a relaxing ritual for you to complete.
You can even pretend you’re on a home makeover show.
If cleaning will only take about 30 minutes, pick a show episode. If it’s going be a longer clean, you might opt for a movie.
Listening to an audiobook or a podcast can be fun, too.
