I hope no one thinks I’m cured of my Slob Problem.
I’m not.
But a huge part of not having it rule my life anymore has been that I’ve accepted that this will always be a struggle. Knowing that helps me keep going.
As I’m pulling posts from the archives to share this summer, I’m enjoying reading some of the moments of discovery that have helped me change my mindset overall.
Methodical vs. Maniacal. Maniacal cleaning used to be the only kind I knew how to do.
Changing to methodical has helped me be able to jump right in wherever that may be.
And I just so happened to land on this one: One Reason to Keep Your Master Bedroom Tidy
It made me laugh.
I thought I had been doing pretty good the last week or two because I’ve (mostly) kept up with the dishes and have kept most of my dirty clothes off the master bedroom floor. For umm, a while, I have noticed a stench in the kitchen despite all the dishes being done and the trash being thrown out. So tonight I just happened to be looking around the kitchen and noticed the potatoes that have been sitting on the floor for umm, a while……yeah, it was bad. I think I must have this Slob Vision and Time Passage Awareness Disorder that you speak of.
