HAPPY FEBRUARY, everybody!
It's February 1st, and I hope it's OK for me to start the new month's WIT thread. I need it!
Heads-up for tomorrow, Feb 2nd... Groundhog's Day!
The guidelines for WIT 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.
- You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on --
just get any 3 things done and then post proudly.
Remember - if you are tired or sick
or injured or depressed or overwhelmed,
:'( or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable,
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 3 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! :D
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!!!

Great start to the month- well done!  Got through the work week Grocery shopping Collapsed on the couch  Start load of washing Start weekend list Think about setting some long term goals. I'm hopeless at goal setting. I'm ok once I've set the goal, I can work towards them quite happily and effectively but I really resist setting goals. |
