An Exercise in Self-Motivation

Tonight you are going to clean your apartment. The clothes will be taken out of the dryer, folded and put away into their designated area of storage. They will not be simply dropped back into the laundry basket. The hanging clothes will not be thrown onto the back of a chair. The ants that were killed via intense shower of Raid will be cleaned off of the counters. The trash will be collected and taken out, including the leftovers that have amassed in the refrigerator. Boxes considered to be trash will not be placed behind the recliner in hopes that a magical trash fairy will transport them to the proper receptacle while you are asleep. The empty mugs will be cleared from their various locations and washed. You will, by no means, go near the couch unless it is to clean the coffee table.
