Baby steps, day twenty
Got my eyes dilated today, so I won't be spending a lot of time on the computer for the next few hours. I was proud of myself (and James) when I awoke to a clean kitchen after yesterday's gnocchi mess. I didn't *want* to clean up after it, but I behaved like an adult and did it, with help. This is progress.
(The baby steps are at this FlyLady link.) I'm adding "(and do 15 minutes of decluttering)" to every day's tasks, because until I get rid of the clutter, I'll never get on top of the cleaning.
Day One: Shine the sink
Day Two: Get dressed to lace-up shoes
Day Three: Read FlyLady BigTent emails
Day Four: Look at sticky note (in bathroom and kitchen)
Day Five: Write down negative things you're saying to yourself, then write down positive stuff to counter that
Day Six: Spend two minutes on a Hot Spot
Day Seven: Pick out clothes for tomorrow
Day Eight: Make binder for control journal
Day Nine: Add a five-minute room rescue to your Morning Routine.
Day Ten: Set your timer for 15 minutes and go gather up all the trash you can find to throw away and put it in the garbage can outside. Then set your timer for another 15 minutes and sit down and put your feet up and read a favorite magazine until the timer goes off.
Day Eleven: Spend 15 minutes writing down some of your favorite inspirational phrases on a new Control Journal page.
Day Twelve: Delete from your inbox all the e-mails from FlyLady.
Day Thirteen: Find one of Kelly’s missions and go and do it.
Day Fourteen: Today, go read the essay that Kelly wrote about using a calendar.
Day Fifteen: Add making your bed to your morning routine.
Day Sixteen: Read a FlyLady email
Day Seventeen: Set a specific bed time and stick to it.
Day Eighteen: Read the Eleven Commandments.
Day Nineteen: Read http://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/31-beginner-babysteps/day-19/
Day Twenty: Include laundry in your morning and evening routines; this makes getting up and getting dressed much easier. Laundry doesn’t take long to do when we don’t procrastinate one of the five steps: sort, wash, dry, fold, and put away. It only takes a few short minutes. When you include laundry in your routines everyone is blessed. Nothing says “I love you” more than clean underwear!
We don't have a washer and dryer, but we may soon, according to our landlady. At any rate, I've been making sure the laundry ends up in one of the two hampers (one in the bedroom, one outside the bathroom), and I'll put that in my routines.
As soon as my vision returns to normal, I'm gonna attack the kitchen cupboards.
