Welcome to February! 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 wrappersThen 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!

Thanks for starting the thread, BetsyMarie. Hi, inwiththenew.  I've been avoiding nearly all work for several days. Being haphazard and doing time wasters just made depression worse, so today I plan to start turning this sad cycle around.  Washed Round 1 dishes. Put away dishes. Neatened up dirty dishes; put the cutlery in a pan of soapy water, and made like-with-like piles of dishes.  Fill pill minder. Make bed and have meds. Restart habit journal. Get dressed. ?Run errands? (bank, library, grocery) |

Hi, BetsyMarie ! Conspicuous neglect: I haven't taken any meds since Saturday, nor have I been eating much or well. I'm grateful I had bulk cooked rice. This afternoon I finally made myself a cooked lunch. Filled pill minder. Made bed and had meds. Restarted habit journal for February (a low bar for exercise, fruits, and vegetables, up from zilch). Get dressed.
Finish filling out %&*# census form.
Do stretches. ?Run errands? (bank, library, post office, grocery) |

Oh goldenthreads. Days get hard to do routine things. I often don't start my day until it is near over. I have found that hard boiling a few eggs and making ramen noodles it quick and easy.
We had a dusting of snow overnight but the walkway was clear
TaDa
took out garbage just now. Regular kitchen and 1 thing. The thing was sentimental but has not been out for 22 years-so gone.
Did not make progress on tax return. It is harder this year to do the downloads for security purpose. I could not make the account code work.
dishes moved from sink to drytowel
to do tomorrow now
Vacuum upper hall
Change sheets
Laundry
