WELCOME TO WITing! April - no fooling - is going to be great!
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!

THREE-dom!!!!!
I thought about going into work and getting ahead Monday's crunch, but that's procrastinating. The real work is here at home. Tomorrow is trash day.
TA-DAH 1. Dusted the air returns 2. Ate breakfast (bacon and raw vegetables sounded good for some reason...) 3. Opened blinds
1. Showered 2. Dressed 3. Made bed
I feel like a genius for consolidation of clothing into one closet and dresser. It snowed last night and will be just under freezing today; I easily pulled out a sweater. Tomorrow will be quite warm, and summer clothes are handy, too.
1. Sorted items currently on living room floor 2. Put sheet music into magazine holder 3. Threw out socks and bandaged heel - found chunk off the glassware I broke earlier this week.
TO DO laundry load More sorting More sorting - this time, into a file box that is big enough to hold everything and free the bookshelves of some binders

Wrote down some thoughts about doing my days and weeks differently. Started dishes soaking. Made bed, and had water and meds in the sunshine. Call gym to ask a couple of questions. Email/text a few friends I've neglected. Decide how to arrange my days. Get dressed. PUPA 5 minutes. Wash dishes.
