Not much time this morning, so I choose to delay the quick pick-up till after I get home. Did do mini mindful pick up in kitchen this morning, but nothing else.

Since I never got back to do more yesterday (though I thought about it), I did do extra this morning. Most interesting of all - I enjoyed doing it and kept looking for more 'small tasks' to do! This, after literally decades of strongly resisting any sort of housework. "I won't do it, and you can't make me."
-cat feeding area cleared -some laundry org -vacuumed traffic areas of hall, dining room, kitchen and family room -carried shoes and clothes and kitchen towels to their homes -folded throw -some floor pickup -wiped down stovetop, microwave, oven, and cutting board -put a couple recycling containers next to main area -put away stuff after breakfast, and closed drawers/cabinets -opened bedroom window for air, and front blinds and maybe a couple other small things I don't remember.

For several days, including today, tomorrow and Wed, I've been working on a large project with time deadlines. This morning I went straight to work, and did not set aside a time for quick pick up. Throughout the day, I was aware of doing little pick-ups, and did so. Not much, but some. Staying flexible. Progress, not perfection.

While some days are harder than others, doing this each morning does feel good. It's getting me into the habit of looking around to see what needs doing, so through the day, I find myself just doing little things automatically.
