Lack of focus and reluctance to work can often be triggered by the chaos surrounding you. If your apartment is a mess and you try to concentrate while working remotely, it will definitely be hard. Even if you don’t work from home, it’s not encouraging to know that you have to go back to your flat you haven’t cleaned for a while.

In fact, chores don’t take that much time. It’s the rest of the tasks that are either more important or interesting. We’re not talking about procrastination now. The thing is, when you’re exhausted after work, even dishwashing can seem like torture, though washing a couple of plates, a fork, and a pan doesn’t require even half an hour. 

However, when you postpone this chore several times, it does take relatively a lot of time, so it’s even harder to get down to it. 

As you have a day off after a stressful period, it may be the case that your apartment looks messy. Then use the time you have! Of course, it’s not a suggestion to take a day off to have a spring clean. It’s about looking around and analyzing what exactly bothers or distracts you. 

Your top priority is to make your place comfortable whether you’re going somewhere or want to stay at home for the whole day. Returning to your flat or dorm room and seeing chaos is not good for your mood. 

So, throw away all the trash and items that just lie around and perform no function except for piling up the place. Collect all clothes meant for laundry and set a session if there’re too many clothes. You’ll see that it doesn’t require a lot of time when you have the whole day at your disposal.
