This is the Working in Threes Thread (W.I.T.)
EVERYONE IS WELCOME, especially if you've never posted before!
The guidelines are simple:
- Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous.
- Do one more little thing.
- Do another little thing.
Once you have 3 things done, post them here.
- Post the next 3 things you plan on doing.
- Go forth and conquer, return and post again.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or
depressed or overwhelmed, you are in the right place!
If the next 15 minutes consists of:
- Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying
- Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen
- Put away phone book
- Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash
. . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE - DOM !!!
You could post:
Ta - Da's
- Took pop can to kitchen
- Put away phone book
- Threw away McDonald's wrappers
Then your To - Do's:
- Bring plates and glasses to kitchen
- Put dirty socks in hamper
- Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those three to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da!
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das.
YOU DESERVE THEM!

Morning everyone. It's a beautiful day and I feel quite motivated! I hope you all manage your goals for today. EVen if your goal is simply to just enjoy your Saturday!  TADAs: Sorted through a pile of old mail. Shredded, chucked and recycled a load of old mail. Called my mother. TODOs: Shower (because it's 11.23 and I still haven't done that!!) Bit of Living room de-cluttering (a pile I disturbed by going through old mail!) 15 minutes of de-squaloring the kitchen. ((*shudders*))Good luck everyone! And remember to stop and take time to enjoy your weekend! And for those of you in the UK, don't forget to put your clocks back tonight!!   |

 Syzygy! Nooo, if you read my TODOs, (namely the one about having a shower! ) you'll see I posted that at 11.30, not 6.30! Time difference! I was still dead to the world at 6.30am!! Congrats on your start! Remember, a slow start is better than none at all!! Hi Wantinmore. Hope some of my motivation has spread to you and that you've managed to tackle some of your TODOs!  TADAs: Cleared some living room clutter. Filled a bin bag of rubbish from kitchen. Cleaned up dog accident and mopped hall floor. Emptied and refilled rather disgusting litter tray. Showered, and washed hair. Bathed DD. TODOs: Put out a bit more recycling. Cook dinner. Relax and snuggle in OH's arms most of the evening! Oh and of course, put clocks back an hour at bedtime!! |
