Psychological obstacles that could be getting in the way of your spring cleaning

Starting spring cleaning can feel like a daunting task. Clinical psychologist Anna-Maria Tosco discusses five psychological obstacles that could be getting in the way of your annual deep cleaning and de-cluttering routines.

But starting spring cleaning can feel like a daunting task. It's common for people to find themselves facing psychological barriers and unable to get started.

Clinical psychologist Anna-Maria Tosco sat down with CTV's Your Morning on Tuesday to break down the five factors that might be getting in the way of your spring cleaning.

Tosco says procrastination is often linked to perfectionism, or the desire to "do things right" or "do things fully."

"It's the idea that if I can't do it fully, I'm going to push it back and push it back. And I might not even do it at all. It's kind of this 'go big or go home' kind of vibe," she explained.
