My main motivator is my state of mind. I start feeling stressed and overwhelmed if the house starts getting messy! Tidying when I'm upset helps me feel better, it sort of feels like i'm "cleaning my mind"!

Me too! I feel realy frazzled when the house is messy!

My MIL is a neat freak and after 12 years I have strated to get some good tips from her, the only thing that I can not get into a good routine is ironing, I do all our clothes the night before, I just can't think of anything worse than doing 3 or 4 days worth.. Anyone have any tips???
