WELCOME TO WITing! HAPPY FEBRUARY! It's going to be a GREAT one! 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!

Good morning, everyone! I have some family obligations that will last several hours today. I'll see what I can manage for my own life when I'm at home. The weather is going to turn snowy and very cold this afternoon, so that should be a good time to hunker down. I'll work on minimums in between sessions of hot drinks in the cozy chair. Take care of family obligation #1. Noonish: Take care of family obligation #2. Take meds and make bed. Do stretches. Wash dishes. Get dressed. Clean out purse.

Used and lubricated shredder. Wrote January assessment in habit journal, and set up February. Transferred laundry to dryer and rack. Take care of family obligation #1. Noonish: Take care of family obligation #2. Do stretches. Wash dishes. Get dressed. Remove some of the dryer items early and hang them up or lay them out. Organize end table. I had an idea a couple of days ago, and I think it'll work! Clean out purse.

Thanks, missjean , for pointing out what I'd done. I just clicked on the first "Create Thread" button I found, and never even noticed any other other details. Admin , could you please move this thread to the usual place for WIT? Thank you! Sorry for messing this up. I do know how to post this where it belongs, but my mind was quite cluttered this morning!

So ridiculous and so appropriate that I ended up having technical difficulties and posting this thread under Technical Help, when really it's an announcement announcing that I was Technically Helpless! Removed some all of the dryer items early and hung them up or laid them out. Took care of family obligation #2. Put dishes away. Take care of family obligation #1. Organize end table. I had an idea a couple of days ago, and I think it'll work! Clean out purse. Pedal. Declutter a few things.
