On Plasticbag:
"…don't clean until your house is clean, instead merely allocate time to the cleaning process and clean until that time is over whether you finish or not."
[...]
"…I would clean in a high-impact fashion for no more and no less than precisely one hour. I created an iTunes playlist full of motivational music…"
Due to the current state of my flat, bringing it back to an acceptable standard of hygiene would involve taking a few days off work, raiding the cleaning products sections of three corner shops and enlisting the help of Aggie and the other one off the telly.
I decided to invite a friend over to dinner so that I had to clean the flat, and thought that music could indeed motivate me towards picking up the hoover. The first track of my hour of cleaning would simply have to be The B-52's - Bouncing Off the Satellites - 03 - Housework. So I got home early last night, cleared the clutter, ditched the dirty dishes, then realised I haven't got that song, moved tonight's dinner to a yet undecided venue in the West End and spent part of the evening watching a program about people's disgusting habits hoping they did not secretly filmed my filth.
