This is Working in Threes for November 2019 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 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! 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

mylittlescholar When I can't get focused I just do the first thing in front of me and try not to over think it. I figure something done, even imperfectly, is better than nothing. Tidied kitchen Sheets and couch blankets washed and hung out Weeded around carrots Gave eggs to the neighbours and they gave us some tomato plants Cleaned hen shed *coffee break Look at seed stash and see if I have any zucchini seeds to plant Do something outside maybe front garden Think about lunch

Great work on hanging the laundry seahorseI hope you feel better after a shower mylittlescholar It must be a day for feeling tired - I'm done in and I've barely done anything. Couldn't find any zucchini seeds Pulled more weeds from cracks in concrete - it's my go-to task when I don't know what else to do Did some weeding in the front garden It's 2.30pm here and I'm stopping for lunch
