WELCOME TO WITing! HAPPY JUNE!!!
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!

Wipe down shower tiles with towel to help curb hard water staining (such a pain, but it seems to help) I'd think towels would be more thorough, but a squeegee is probably faster! I prefer it because I avoid all the reaching and squats in/over a tub/shower stall. G'morning, erniethecat . Thanks for starting the thread! Made bed. Recorded breakfast in tracker (I've started again. The tracker I mean. I never skip breakfast). Started dishes soaking. Plant the new plants. Get dressed. Go for a walk.

Good morning Goldenthreads! I'm in favor of the take-the-cleaning-products-in-the-shower-with-me-and-clean-the-shower-and-myself-at-the-same-time method of shower cleaning!
I may not be as with it as I'm claiming this morning. As well as repeating my numbers on my todo list several times this morning, I also scheduled a pickup for my boss's golf cart and then tried to order a rental car, because "he wouldn't have a car" ....
