I don't need to start over, but things are getting rough. I realized I was walking on stuff today so I have gone back from open floors to path to walking on things again. This is my bedroom. The living room is a bit rough too, but it shouldn't be too hard to get back to where it was. The kitchen on the other hand is awful. I had to set a fruit fly trap this morning. In addition I finally have a job- baking bread from home for a lady at the farmer's market which means I am going to have to scrub it down from top to bottom in the next few days so I can be clean enough.
I need to pull it together and get back on.

And you will. I think that once you get to a point where it's in good shape...and you go backwards a little...it's a lot easier to catch up again. At least I've found that to be the case for myself.
Best of luck!

You did the most important thing, you recognised it! Just jump right in and start from somewhere, a little step forward is better than no steps at all.

try using a timer -you CAN pick stuff up off the floor for 2 minutes. then look at the nice space. don't you want to do it again?

Oh, and I'm not a fan of timers...I time myself by songs that I like. So I'll put on Pandora, and then clean for a song...sometimes two, and then take a break for a song, or switch locations.

I fell off too.
But at least we noticed this time! That's progress right there.
Ok, lets forgive ourselves. thank ourselves for noticing and caring and hop back on now.
No guilt, no blame, no shame, lets just move forward.
HUGS!
