Spring
Posted under Chores by adminI think that spring has finally arrived. Or at least spring-like weather has arrived. It seems that the big KVM switch in the sky has been dialed over to Spring. I am soooo thankful for that! I had been feeling very unmotivated the last month or so. I know it was directly related to the weather and the longing for sunshine and warm weather.
And so, with my motivation at a low, my house has become a wreck. Now I get to start the arduous task of reclaiming my house. I have already started in the girls room. We plan on painting it next week so a good cleaning and decluttering was in order! I sorted through their closet and put clothes in one pile and toys in another. I didn’t sort anything any further than that. The toys and stuffed animals will be gone through by the girls this weekend. The clothes will be done after the room is painted.
Part of the problem I am having is I look around and see that this needs sorting through or that cupboard is completely disorganized or that room needs straightening. There is soooo much to do that I am having a hard time finding my focus. This is not a new problem. Its one that I find myself in often. My solution is usually a day by day list of jobs. It gives me something to focus on. I can also look ahead when something catches my eye that needs doing and see what day I am scheduled to work on it. It is so true that us humans like structure!
Today I will be working on writing that list along with some other daily sort of tasks (dishes, laundry). Hopefully I will find myself with a van full of items to take to the resale shop and a house that is less cluttered in a few weeks. I suppose I should probably make a call to the resale shop and get things figured out there before I show up with that van load though!
