I keep putting off cleaning the oven because I treat it as one job

I keep treating oven cleaning as an afternoon's job, which makes it easy to put off. Doing the racks one evening and the inside another gives me a clear stopping point; it needn't all be done at once.

Deciding what counts as clean enough before you start could help too. Otherwise one stubborn mark can turn a quick pass into chasing every mark for the rest of the afternoon.
