I’ve spent 26 minutes today gathering my clean/ish clothes in the dresser & closet, cleaning off the shelves above my desk, & wiping down my desktop. I think that’s all for now. I want to work in my dot journal, listen to my new pandora radio account, & read a library book the rest of the day.

I freelance and had a bit of a slow week. My main client is waiting from information from their clients. It's typical this time of year, people are busy with the holidays.
The good thing is I took advantage of the time to do things around the house like folding and putting away two baskets of laundry, deep cleaning the bathrooms and vacuuming the room where the cats spend most of their time. That was a mess of cat fur and litter they kicked around. It is nice to have things cleaner. |

I had to look that up, Buffy. I had never heard of doing that before. It's an interesting tip.

Todays stats:
Start time: 9:23am 1) vacuum room where I hang out when I’m home and awake: 25m 2) gather clean-ish clothes in closet & dresser: 6m 3) clean out bag: 2m Break: 9:58am - 10:28am 4) clean off shelves above desk: 16m 5) wipe off desktop: 13m End time: 10:57am Total time spent, including break: 1h, 34m I have tomorrow off too. I’m thinking of tackling a cabinet where random things collect. It’s a big job. I would need to break it up into 4 parts, & then also going through a plastic tub of toiletries that needs to be culled. But I’m done for today. Now I’m going to work in my dot journal & listen to my pandora radio station. |

Start: 9:09am 1) top shelf: 1h, 13m Break: 10:23am - 11:12am 2) bottom shelf: 1h, 20m End: 12:32pm Total time spent, including break: 3h, 23m This felt horrible, but I pushed through anyway. I’ve identified about 30 books I want to donate to the little free libraries. In addition, I have a bag of trash & a bag of recycling. Now it’s time to zone out! I earned it. |

1) clear the floor for a place to put stuff: 3min 2) empty gray cabinet of everything: 6min 3) wipe it down, inside & out: 5min 4) start putting it all back: 30min #break#19min 5) finish putting it all back: 42min Start time: 9:18am End time: 11:02am Total time spent: 1hr & 44min Notes: I was glad I wrote about it earlier so I could be somewhat prepared for it to feel not great. I identified 25 books to donate; down 5 books from the time before. Still too much stuff, but I did pull out a few things to trash & papers to recycle. Next steps: list donateable books from shortest to longest for the ones I want to read first. Clean out containers. Organize books I’m keeping so the reference books are easier to access instead of organizing them by size. |

Listed 13 shortest to longest and added them to the to be read pile. Identified 7 to take to the little free library tomorrow, hopefully. Four are to be skimmed and saved for my own little free library if I ever get it done & placed. One is to be donated to the regular library. Good progress.

Im doing pretty good at doing at least one thing a day. Today was de-trashing the bathroom, getting deliveries, and staying on points on weight watchers. Also took my pee medicine. Was kinda achy all over, may have overdone the exercise yesterday, so skipped it today. Placed an edited Shipt order - usually get too much.

Today: change bed linens, go to drug store, make donations at thrift store, work on livingroom.
I'll end there because I want to keep by commitment easy to accomplish, so I don't reneg. |

I didn't follow thru yesterday with my plan. But today I got that list mostly done.
I have a long way to go in getting a grip on time management. All my life I've had terrible time management skills. Now that I'm retired, I'm worse than ever. I spend huge chunks of time accomplishing nothing worth doing. Then I feel so bad about it. I may emulate @FloatThruThis and start logging what I do with my time. I really want a better life. |
