Yes Bath, I am also better with a deadline, even if I do leave it till last minute. Had a coffee morning here the other day and got a heap done cleaning wise, a normal week the house would have been a disaster zone.

Ok, think about it, most of my problem is I think too much. I go over and over in my head trying to work out the better way to do things. I don't just fold the washing, I think about should I just grab the first thing and fold it, or should I hunt through and fold all the towels first. With a deadline in place there is little time to think, so I just go on auto pilot. If I am riled I am thinking about that problem, not about the cleaning. Probably explains why I like to be on the phone when I am cleaning, action without thought.
