Baby steps, day thirty
Aug. 13th, 2012 05:55 amI used to resist being told what to do unless I was at work. These days, I use being told what to do as a tool. When I feel overwhelmed by something, I sometimes ask someone near me to tell me what to do next, and it breaks the logjam. Similarly, the morning routines have made my mornings more productive just by existing. When I wonder what I should do next, I just consult the list. This will sound obvious to some people, but it's a different way of approaching my mornings. I used to just get up, sit in front of the computer until about ten minutes before I had to be out the door, and then rush around getting ready for work, often forgetting to take my keys or my wallet with me.

Day Thirty: Look at your calendar for next month. Does anyone have a birthday? We often forget to send cards and purchase gifts because we have so much going on. Put this on your errands list so you can buy cards and gifts on your errand day. If you don’t know what an errands day is, read the FLYing Lesson about Routines to see FlyLady’s Basic Weekly Plan and how to create your own. You don’t have to start doing it yet, just start thinking about it.
Okay, I was just talking about needing a weekly routine. This will be helpful. I'll work on it this morning.
Checking my calendar, the next birthday in my family is my own, and it's more than a month away. Eventually, I'd like to acknowledge all my good friends' birthdays, as well.

Finding it hard to get myself to tackle decluttering in the morning, because it's really early, I'm the only one up, and I don't want to get all dusty and dirty before work. So I'm moving it to the afternoons, before my shower, and we'll see how that goes.
