The real link, if you'd rather not laugh.
1) Set Small Goals: Any goal is a goal. But setting large ones such as; "I will get a job today" are very difficult to obtain. So keep it simple. My goal today is to hopefully clean my computer area. By using (and stressing) the term "hopefully" I get a loop hole out of actually achieving my goal.
2) Make a Plan: Write down the goal(s) you just said aloud. If I were you though, I'd start with just one goal, and see how that plays out.
3) Don't Blame Yourself: The cluttered areas in your house aren't just your fault (unless you live alone). Take me for instance; I had my three nephews, sister and brother-in-law over recently, and all five of them use the computer. So I wasn't the only one leaving scraps of paper strewn about. I am not a slob, and I am hopefully taking control. (See what I did there?)
4) Divide and Conquer: Set your piles of crap into three separate piles: "toss," "keep," and "donate." For example I have a piece of paper here with my (weak) top score in Tiger-Heli (92,150) now that score is a joke, but I'm new to playing that game so it stays because I'll never remember that number and won't know if I topped it with my next session. I also have a pair of socks on the desk here that I've yet to put on. Guess which pile those are in. Yup!
5) Stick With It: Don't just set and hopefully achieve goals for today. Do this fun task everyday! Think of all the extra smiles your mouth will be producing when you set the bar and possibly clear it. Think about it.
