Welcome to the "Whatchamacallit" Thread -- kind of a weekly blog and/or list thread.
Welcome! Feel free to join us here. There are no "rules". Post daily, weekly, or occasionally. Post your to-dos, or your ta-das, or a sentence or two ... or whatever works for you!You can be as chatty or as self-focused as you need to be. Some chattily exchange comments and support, and use this as a "group action blog". They enjoy the camaraderie. Others remain completely and quietly focused on ONLY their own tasks -- and seeming to ignore everyone else. They just need to stay focused on getting things done. Both approaches are fine here! This thread has no expectations that we come back and cheer each other on. This is a week-long thread. Members from DIFFERENT TIME ZONES can post TOGETHER on a single thread, without worrying if you are on the "correct" day's thread. We intentionally make each week's thread dated "Sunday through Sunday" so that you can post however/whenever you feel comfortable -- (and you have full permission to optionally post your "Sunday tasks" on more than one thread and claim double credit!) HOW to post: Any way you like! NOTE: Lists not required! This is NOT a "cookie-cutter" thread. Posts can have different styles.🚃 The focus is action -- post however best works for you.All of us are in unique situations. Some work full/part time, some don't work outside the home, some work from home, some take care of other people, some are students, some have lots of kids, some are living alone and have themselves to take care of, some folks are depressed, have ADD/ADHD --- whatever the situation is. We all want to declutter/desqualor and/or maintain. Just do what might work for you.
Some of us just know that we do better listing Ta-das, and seeing our Ta-das at the end of the day or week. Even if in baby steps... this shows us that we did do something and/or are working on it. Sometimes it can be surprising to see all you did in one day. Or sometimes, you may end your day but be able to say: "I may not have gotten much done today but I did do this ____."
Motivation Follows Action!
This thread can go hand-in-hand with other threads such as the WITs (Working in Threes) thread or the "Ten-Minute-Sessions" thread, etc. -- for those who may want to track their weekly accomplishments.
Remember: Amnesty! It is not even required to come back and cheer each other on.
No requirements at all !!!
Have a great week, everyone! Together We Can!

Thank you seashell! My work starts at full swing this week, so if I disappear suddenly, it's because I have too much things to do. However, I do miss this forum to help me focus a bit more on home and life improvements. This week my "extra" house work task, in addition to the weekly upkeep, is to dust. It must be 6 months since the last time (I have dusted some smaller, strategic, visible surfaces during this time, but not everything)! Thankfully I don't live in a dusty place, and also thankfully I prefer a more minimalistic decor so access to the surfaces is mostly easy. I imagine it will take about 30 minutes to do a detailed dusting in every room. Another "extra" house work is to wipe the backsplash on the kitchen. It's been also forever since it was last done and it's been bothering me lately. Since it needs some elbow grease I think it will take at least 15 minutes. Personal/other goals are... a) exercise 2 times (10-15 minutes at a time is enough) b) walk dog daily (about 30-60 minutes) c) arrange another dog "date" with our new dog friend for the coming weekend d) wash dog's teeth 3 times e)research wlan router (I think it's called?) for my home
