Daily Checklist

Today I:

Made bed.

Cleaned kitchen.

Swept kitchen.

Did focused 5 minute pick-up.

Checked bathrooms for clutter.

Threatened all children with discipline since no one jumped to pick up the dirty underwear when I pointed it out.

Just got up to start a load of laundry. Laundry is still not gelling for me. It doesn’t do much good to check to see if it’s done before I go to bed if I never put in a load in the morning.

Last night I: Wiped down bathrooms. Put out clothes. Checked laundry. Forgot to make lunch.

    I like the way your habits are becoming a daily part of your life now. I’m trying to establish some habits of my own, but my brain is usually engaged in so many other things that I wound up hanging a small dry/erase board on the door of an office cabinet. On the outside so I can see it every time I walk into it. However, if I REALLY need to remember something , I make a note on a small index card and hang it at eye level on the mirror in my bathroom. That is the one place I know I’ll look at several times a day. 🙂

    I have been straight-up sobbing as I read your blog during my lunch hour. I have always struggled with keeping things clean and have always been told and thought that I was just lazy. My ex-husband used to call me “useless.” I just would never see the messes until they were overwhelming. No one ever accepted or understood that. It’s so wonderful to find that someone else who has the same issue and is getting it together! I’ve always thought that in order to have a neat house, I’d have to live at this high-level of stress and tension just to make sure I wasn’t missing things. It’s the perfectionist in me….if it’s not perfect, it’s not right, so why do it? I’d try living for that way for a while, but eventually the stress would get to me and I’d end up “bingeing” on relaxing. It’s just like the bulimia cycle. Purge, binge, purge, binge. All the while feeling like you’re worthless because you “just can’t get it together like everyone else does.”Your blog has given me hope. I don’t have to panic when people want to come over. I can manage my household…yes, even while working full-time. It helps so much to hear someone say “yeah, it sucks. it’s not easy for me. it’s never been easy. but it’s possible.”
    Thank you.

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
