Daily Checklist

I’m later than usual getting this post done since we were up at school this morning and then had a playdate today. The good news is that my very supportive best friend who knows how bad my messiness is was totally impressed with my house.

Today I:

Made bed. (I’ve been doing this everyday (except one) for over a month now, so I hope it’s a habit.)

Cleaned kitchen.

Swept kitchen.

Did general pickup (way easier when I know someone is coming over).

Checked bathroom floors and counters for clutter.

I’ve been doing this blog for a month now, and although I have a long way to go, I can say that these small daily tasks have made a huge difference.

I’ve heard it takes 28 days to develop a habit. I really hope that’s true.

    I’ve been reading through your site backwards (as you suggest) and I just wanted to weigh in here.

    I just deleted all the overdue tasks on my chore checklist app. Deleted all the tasks entirely, not just reset them to zero! And added one: Make the bed. I am going to start with my first non-negotiable.

    I struggle with depression sometimes, and use my excellent blinders to keep that overwhelmed feeling at bay most days so it doesn’t potentially trigger a spiral, but if the chaos continues to spiral, even those blinders are going to start to fail, and I always feel a little more like a failure when my mother in law swoops in and helps tames it once more.

    I had a longer rambling post written, but really this just sums up what I wanted to say.
