| What the challenge looks like... |
No more!
Who: Me
What: Taking a page (not literally) out of Gretchen Rubin's blog about tackling difficult tasks, I commit to spending fifteen minutes each day, organizing and clearing my space. In seven days that is almost 2 hours, so I should be able to get something accomplished.
Why: Above and beyond what I stated previously, the holidays are coming. I don't have a mountain of crafting to accomplish, but it sure would be nice to have a space in which to work on the little I do need to get done. And, space to work aside, I'm just bloody sick of the mess! The rest of the house is so consistently tidy that my room haunts me.
How: For fifteen minutes - hopefully during Sister-Bug's nap - I will delve into my art room, set a fifteen minute timer and clean till it beeps. No more, no less.
Here's to success and a clear work table!

Additional notes: The laundry design is going well, and I plan on posting more about that soon. It's working its way into my weekly housekeeping schedule, which will be for the best.
I missed the Mindful Monday last week - I had it mostly written. It was about holding normalcy and rhythm in a week of chaos. But the day, the week, was just too busy to post at all last week. I was more focused on getting the kids through a crazy week, with some of their routines intact to do much writing.
Thanks for posting this; I needed a reminder that we need to prioritize our unpacking. Even with a teenager more than willing to help, we're still not completely unpacked from our February move, and the boxes sometimes interrupt the otherwise joyful flow of life in our new space. Despite both of us mentioning the task from time to time, some other chore or pleasure seems to eat up all our time.
ReplyDeleteTonight I am going to sit down and break the task into bite-sized pieces and put them on the calendar starting tomorrow. If we get them all done, our reward will be baking a batch of almond butter cookies :)
