Baby steps, day twenty-four
Crashed out after work yesterday. It's going to take some time to get used to my new schedule.
(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.
Day Twenty-one: Read the Ask FlyLady page
Day Twenty-two: Learn how to build your own control journal in 15 steps.
Day Twenty-three: Make a new page in your Control Journal for your Afternoon Routine.
Day Twenty-four: One of the things that make our home always ready for company is the fact that our main bathroom is clean. Each morning as part of the Morning Routine, FlyLady does something we call the “Swish and Swipe.” This means you swish the toilet with a toilet bowl brush and wipe down the counter tops and sink with a rag and put away all the things you have gotten out. This takes all of two minutes to keep our bathroom ready for anyone.
Make sure you add the Swish and Swipe to your Morning Routine.
I've been doing a half-assed job of this since I started the Baby Steps, but I'll try to make more of a point of it. I was noticing this morning that it's nice to be in a cleanish bathroom, but it could be better.
The washer/dryer guy came by yesterday and postponed the work until today, so I still have some furniture from the store room messing up the living room, but that's temporary. I'm really gonna try to finish my routines today. Wish me luck.
