NPR: motivation - but I think mommies would understand
I have been telling myself "I need to get up and do stuff" for the past 2 hours, I can't seem to move
My mom is watching DS so that I can do some spring cleaning, gardening, cooking, shopping, organizing ... 
I've let so much pile up, because I feel like I want to just spend more time with DS, and the day is here that I have time and no excuse and need to do stuff and I don't.
How do you motivate yourself?

Turn up the music and dance while you do your chores.

give me one song that motivates you 
I'll spend 20 minutes fumbling with Pandora otherwise

I would do a pandora station of either:
Michael Jackson
Rihanna
Lady Gaga
or cheesey 80s songs

Re: NPR: motivation - but I think mommies would understand
Break it down into one small, defined task at a time.
It gets overwhelming when you think of it in the big picture of "OMG, I need to do X,Y,Z,1,2, 3 and 4, I don't even know where to start".
Pick one thing, such as "organize hallway closet". Finish that one thing.
Take a 5 minute break. (coffee, LIF  ) and then pick another small, defined task, and do that.
Repeat!
