Getting into the habit of picking up after yourself, and motivation?

[XX]

I guess I just want to know your motivation to get it done. Sometimes mine is turning on some music, or writing a list, or that I know some ones coming over. I don't have a problem with cleaning, such as scrubbing, cleaning windows, or vacuuming oddly. But I do with straightening up. Our house wont take but an hour to become a mess. A big decluttering job, and in a week its back to the mess I started with. I have done routines where I straighten up the house 3 times a day, but on the weekends we aren't home enough to keep up, so we end up making a mess while were home and not cleaning it up because of time, and I just fall out of my routine. I also don't like to do anything until the mess is dealt with, but ends up causing me to procrastinate. If I taught my family, and myself how to pick up after our selves this wouldn't be a problem. How would you go about teaching this rule to your family, and getting into the habit yourself?

When I feel unmotivated, I tell myself in my head "Stop being so lazy and do it!" works every time
