Oh good call!!!
I forgot to mention my lists. I'm a little nutty with my lists. Mostly because they are so ridiculous that I shouldn't even write these things down. LOL ..but I think crossing things off make me feel accomplished even when I shouldn't. (A little morale boost.) In fact, I tend to write a list... and keep it going for the week... instead of a day.
For example...
I should probably just write down "clean kitchen"
....instead I break it down into:
- run dish washer
- empty clean dish washer
- set up coffee pot
- wipe counters
- clean pots and pans
- sweep & swiffer floor
- wash matts
...well you get the point
I might do some things everyday... while others I just do through out the week. I might cross some things off, but I also, tend to add things to my on going list. I find it helpful not to give myself a "deadline" to getting things done. That way I won't feel disappointed in myself if I can't get them all done.
