RC2002 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm planning to post a picture of my living room in 6 hours. It better not look like the one I just took. Anyone else want to join me? 1 Quote Level 2 Halfling Adventurer| STR: 1 | DEX: 1 | STA: 3 | CON: 2.5 | WIS: 3 | CHA: 1.5 |Challenge ThreadEpic Quest Link to comment
RC2002 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 There's space for guests! I'm calling this good enough; I have other rooms to clean! Quote Level 2 Halfling Adventurer| STR: 1 | DEX: 1 | STA: 3 | CON: 2.5 | WIS: 3 | CHA: 1.5 |Challenge ThreadEpic Quest Link to comment
Eleanorsbee Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 wish I had seen this earlier I would have joined you ........ I have a Vacuum cleaner fetish ... in a good way ... my wife says I am not allowed any more, so motivation to do the vacuuming is plentiful for me ... the only issue I have is which one to use !!!!!!! oh and I love throwing things away, and discovering new cleaning products. errrrr ..... reading this I am beginning to think I have an issue ? ...... still at least my love of cleaning things fits in nicely for my desire for instant gratification 1 Quote Human | Ranger Level 3 | STR: 8 | DEX: 2 | STA: 8 | CON: 5 | WIS: 0 | CHA: 7 Current Challenge / Second Challenge, / My First Challenge Link to comment
Windranger Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Haha, that's a really cool idea how to frighten oneself in order to finally clean up xD I usually clean my room when friends are coming over or when I hit a point where the mess is just too gross for me to deal with. 2 Quote "The purpose of life is to be happy." - Tendzin Gyatsho, the 14th Dalai Lama Character Link to comment

Tzippi Longstockings Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Anyone tried to "gamify" cleaning to get a regular weekly schedule going? I hate cleaning with a vengeance (if I had more money, and could convice my husband, I would hire someone to do it all), and failed utterly at my recent "Cleaning" life goal for a six-week challenge.

Eleanorsbee Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Gamify cleaning ..... oooh, someone come up with how to do this ? I dont need any motivation to clean stuff ..... but if you could make it into a game it would be truely epic ! Loving this time of the year though ... I encourage my 3 1/2 year old to play with the Christmas tree so the needles fall off and I have to get a vacuum out to suck them up Quote Human | Ranger Level 3 | STR: 8 | DEX: 2 | STA: 8 | CON: 5 | WIS: 0 | CHA: 7 Current Challenge / Second Challenge, / My First Challenge Link to comment
kaelvan Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Maybe this would help with me trying to get rid of more stuff in my room.

redtomato501 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 No kidding, kaelvan! Maybe I'll incorporate the OP's idea into my upcoming challenge, too... and Eleanorsbee, does this cleaning fetish extend to other people's homes? Because you should totally come over!

Gobnait Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I was on ChoreWars... I think I got frustrated with something about it... I think I need an analog system. I already have a paper-printout and magnets so that I didn't have to sit down at the computer to log what I did and didn't do. But Chorewars did teach me a format. Here's (lack of) progress pictures on my living spaces. I believe the password is ilovenerds https://www.tumblr.com/blog/gwkjantuhi Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

redtomato501 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 HabitRPG is another one that gets bandied about. Me, I'm childish, and I like old fashioned star charts. I'm even ordering metallic star stickers from Amazon for my next star chart! As far as cleaning goes, having guests over seems to be the only thing that gets my rear in gear.

Evermist Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 We could certainly start a PVP on the challenge forums! Anyone up for it? I always have the problem of blitzing through my room in short, half-an-hour motivation explosions, and leaving a) ridiculously tidy shelves AND a disastrously cluttered floor in my wake, the latter of which only gets cleared during the next bout of motivation (which also leaves its own trail of devastation elsewhere).

redtomato501 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I've never successfully followed through on a PVP, but I'm game to attempt again! I've just been reminded that I'm hosting a group of friends (and a stranger) for dinner (homemade ravioli!) on Saturday... think I found my motivation! >_< Quote Current Challenge #39 - 15.02.23 | Challenges: #38, #29 | Fitocracy: redtomato501 Link to comment
Tzippi Longstockings Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have a piece of paper taped to the wall of my kitchen. I use dates written in purple pen instead of star stickers. I decided to try this again, this challenge, and here's what I've come up with so far: Tzippi's Cleaning Mini-Game Works pretty good so far. Cleaned two ovens and the waxy menorah last night!Still a long ways to go . . .
