I have been very busy for about a year with caretaking a few different family members who are elderly or dying. I always am better able to focus when someone else needs something. During this time I have not been cleaning my house regularly, and this bothers me, but not enough for me to put the attention on cleaning up better. Recently a family member had a birthday and of course I cleaned up the dining room for that, and it was very easy to do, and felt good for myself as well as for the event. This is a reminder to me that a good strategy for cleaning up, that has worked for me in the past, is to invite someone over. I have gotten over feeling guilt about anything that works in helping me to get things done! I no longer feel like I have a moral problem.
