How I Used Mini Games to Overcome Procrastination and Clean My House

This is not a joke. As someone who has procrastination issues (who doesn't 😅), I often drag to do house chores, and playing mini games literally helped me overcome procrastination and made my house to become cleaner.

Let me take you on a journey of how I turned my #procrastination into #productivity.

It all started one evening when I was deeply engrossed in a mini game on my phone. You know the type – fun, addictive, but constantly interrupted by those pesky ads. Every time I requested a new life or tool, a 30-second ad would pop up, and I had to fight the urge to pay to remove them.

While waiting, I glanced at the dishes sitting in the sink, a task that I had been putting off for hours. “Since I had to wait,” I thought, “why not use this 30 seconds to wash a cup ☕️?” So, I did it. By the time I finished, the ad was over, and I could jump back into the game. Next time an ad interrupted my game, I brought myself to clean another bowl 🍽 in the sink. And just like that, during those small intervals, my sink was cleared. It became a game within a game – a race against the ad timer to see how much I could accomplish before my game resumed.

As days passed, this habit evolved. I started wiping down the tables 🧽 during one ad, watering the plants 🪴 during another, and even vacuuming the floors 🧹 in the brief moments of interruption. Each task, once daunting and tiresome, turns out to be so easy and quick to do. The mental load of large chores was replaced by quick wins, each small task contributing to a cleaner and more organized home.
