but you can fight back<\/a>! It\u2019s easy to push back your chores and say that you\u2019ll get to them later. Do you actually do them later? More often than not, later becomes never. Take care of things in the present and you\u2019ll help reduce the amount of time that you have to clean in the future. If you roast some vegetables in the oven, take care of your dishes while they are roasting. You\u2019ll have much less to clean up when you finish eating. Depression can make you feel down or fatigued, but set manageable goals and complete them for a sense of fulfillment. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDelegate Whenever You Can<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If you have the option to enlist help from family or friends, take advantage of the help! If you live with people, rope them in to make the cleaning process a team effort. The work will get done faster and it puts a lot less responsibility on your shoulders. Don\u2019t make cleaning the entire home\/apartment your burden if you live with others. If you have children who are reluctant to clean, make housework engaging and fun! How you do that is entirely up to you, but we can tell you that offering a reward or treat at the end is great motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go With Your Natural Energy Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s no reason to force yourself to clean if it\u2019s late at night and you feel sleepy. People with depression, even though it can cause feelings of sluggishness around the clock, still have bursts of energy. Take advantage of these bursts and ride those waves. Don\u2019t fight them! When motivation strikes, channel that energy into doing dishes, mopping the floors, wiping the windows, or even cleaning the bathroom. The show you\u2019re binging will be there when you\u2019re done cleaning!<\/p>\n
