The way I try to jumpstart this for myself is to take a picture of the place I need to clean. It gives me a fresh perspective so it's easier for me to identify what needs to happen. Secondary benefit is it's easier to make a before and after comparison, for that extra hit of dopamine.
I did that once and the before/after dopamine is nice. But the downside is that looking back at the after photo and realising that it looks like shit again after 10 weeks is even more depressing.
what if you deleted the picture right after getting the dopamine
Good suggestion!
It could be better, but it's still an improvement. I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. Most people don't even start.
the key is deliberating a set place for everything, and putting it back until it becomes habit. it turns into a dopamine hit eventually.
if you find yourself not bothering to put some items back, they probably should be moved somewhere else more convenient
