So, just a quick update on my new year’s resolution to be more organized – I made a cleaning schedule last night, with a short list of daily tasks (do the dishes, do one load of laundry, tidy the living room, etc) and one job each day that should be done weekly (clean the bathroom, wash out the cat box, mop the kitchen floor, etc) and some jobs that only need to be done once in a while but still need to be done (clean behind the appliances, for instance. this one frightens me so that is a sign that it needs to be done immediately.) Yep, boring as watching paint dry, right? But it totally works.
I am overwhelmed into inaction by the whole massive heap of cleaning that needs to be done in this house. But I can handle the manageable group of tasks I have set for myself in a day, and I feel so much more chilled out about the rest of the stuff that isn’t on my list because I know I will do it when it is on my daily list.
So, after one day I am ready to declare the cleaning schedule a success. Ask me again in a month what I think of it and we will get a more accurate picture, I think.
As a reward for reading this dull as dust blog post, here is a cutie pie pic of my baby. Thanks to my dad for taking the photo.
