If you figure it out please let me know. I have a bit of OCD and once my house gets to a certain point I just shut down and cocoon. As I have two kids that make a mess and only feel obligated to clean when threatened, I am very lucky I have a maid that comes out or I be shut in my room 24/7. But as a newlywed its might be a little hard to find the budget for a maid. Try starting in the morning right after fueling your system for the day. And plenty of upbeat bouncy music does help.
Lastly I have a system where I just pick everything up in big totes and separate things into baskets that go into different rooms. Then start putting things in there "home" a basket at a time. Then I do all the tedious things last. Like floors, refridge, baseboards, dusting, all the things that need the cleaning supplies. I sure hope this helps. :-)

There really isn't a way to get motivated. You just have to quit thinking about what you'd rather be doing or other things that you need to do and start cleaning.
When I'm done I like the way everything and always wonder why it took me so long to get started.

When i need to motivated myself to clean I think about this seriously for couple days before I actually do the cleaning which is called "Planning". Then I tell myself, I have got to clean and that motivates me. If you invite people over that would definetly motivate you to have a clean house!

Turn on some upbeat music that you really like and just dance around and have fun while you're cleaning. It works for me.

I usually just start picking things up..Once you get into it, you won't want to stop. At least, that's how I am. Once I start something, I can't stop until I'm done. Make it fun...turn on the radio loud, and get all your things out to clean, and just attack! It;s fun if you set it up right.

Turn off the tv, shut down your computer and put on your favorite dancing tunes and tackle one room at a time.

i blare my favorite music, or put on my ipod. Some fast upbeat music should do the trick. Lock your doors, open your blinds, let the light in, and sing your heart away while singing. This always works for me!
