Daily Checklist

December 8, 2009 By Dana White Leave a Comment

Made bed.

Emptied dishwasher.

Cleaned up kitchen.

Swept kitchen.

Did focused 5 minute pickup.

Checked bathrooms for clutter.

Made list this morning – ever so helpful.

Cleaned out and organized pantry. (I honestly don’t think I would have done this if it hadn’t been on the list.

Last night I:

Put out clothes.

Made lunch.

Laid on the couch with a bad stomach ache and rationalized why I just couldn’t wipe down the bathrooms.

Also rationalized that I had worked on laundry all day and so I would just wait until today to change out the next load.

My stomach did legitimately hurt, and still doesn’t feel great. But reading my own words, I am skeptical of how legit of an excuse it was.

Making a list . . . Checking It?

December 7, 2009 By Dana White 17 Comments

So . . . if you make a list, you’re supposed to check it? Huh. I started writing this post and realized I hadn’t checked my list since first thing this morning. I went and checked it. I’m probably not going to complete it, but I definitely accomplished more than I otherwise would have today […]

Daily Checklist

December 7, 2009 By Dana White 2 Comments

Today I: Made bed. Hung up or put in laundry the clothes in the master. (I also employed a little trick of my mom’s that finally makes sense to me. Pajamas that can be worn again get put under the pillow. Doesn’t make sense when the bed isn’t made or when there’s tons of other […]

Menu Plan

December 7, 2009 By Dana White 5 Comments

I didn’t do a menu plan last week, and I definitely had to face the consequences. We grabbed dinner one night and that’s never good for the budget. This week I’m planning ultra-easy meals to keep that from happening. Monday – Baked chicken breasts, buttered noodles and spinach Tuesday – Turkey smoked sausage pan fried […]

My New Non-Negotiable for the Week

December 7, 2009 By Dana White 3 Comments

I haven’t done very well this week. I’ve had lots of excuses for not doing the complete list of daily tasks every single day. I think that a lot of that has to do with the house being ultra clean on Tuesday for the party, and then too much for me to handle cleaning up […]

Another "Duh" Moment

December 4, 2009 By Dana White 2 Comments

This week has been crazy. Are there ever weeks that aren’t? Every night this week we’ve had something going on. Something pretty major. And the days have been equally as hectic. So what do I do? I ignore my house. The house falls down farther on my priority list when I’m busy with more “important” […]

Daily Checklist

December 4, 2009 By Dana White Leave a Comment

Today I: Made bed. Emptied dishwasher. Cleaned kitchen. Swept kitchen. Checked bathrooms for clutter. Put the dining room and breakfast area back in order after the party Tuesday night. Yes. Tuesday night. Three days ago. Started a load of laundry. Yesterday was pretty much a total loss. Except for when I folded one load of […]

Surefire Way to a Clean House

December 2, 2009 By Dana White 8 Comments

HAVE A PARTY!!!! Seriously, have a party. I’ve always said this. The best way to get me to clean my house and make decisions about decorating issues I’ve been putting off is to put a party on the calendar and invite people over. It’s amazing how that impending doorbell will act like a wind-up knob […]

Daily Checklist and Excuses

December 2, 2009 By Dana White 1 Comment

I generally write two posts a day. My daily checklist and a general post about this process. I decided last week that I should write my daily checklist post first, and then the other (hopefully more interesting) post second so that if someone checked the blog, they would see the interesting post first. Not that […]
