Clean before tackling homework and studying, or something you’ve been putting off.
Cleaning is, in a way, much easier than homework because it doesn’t require much brain work. Doing it in reverse order, homework then cleaning, makes it seem like more of a chore.
After everything is clean, I feel much more motivated to do my work. I guess it gets me into the mindset because I’ve at least done something productive. Plus, even if you don’t end up doing homework (heavens no) at least you’ll have a clean area 😛
