Daily Checklist

September 26, 2009 By Dana White 1 Comment

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.

Can a Germaphobe be a Slob?

September 25, 2009 By Dana White 67 Comments

I installed a sitemeter about two weeks ago to see if anyone was visiting my blog. It is the coolest thing ever. It tells me how people found my site. I can see how many visits I got from linking up on Tackle it Tuesday, Menu Plan Monday, or wherever. It also tells me if […]

The Big Picture . . . and the Small Details

September 24, 2009 By Dana White 8 Comments

I’m working on the office this week. I decluttered the corner on Monday, cleared/organized my desk on Tuesday, was gone all day yesterday, and today is Thursday. I haven’t done anything in this room yet. I still may, but it’s not guaranteed since in a short while I’ll leave to pick up kids from school […]

Multitasking and Making the Dog Happy

September 23, 2009 By Dana White 8 Comments

I love cooking. Raw meat, chicken germs . . . not so much. I like to minimize the number of times I have to completely disinfect my sink after trimming raw chicken. The thought of chicken germs totally grosses me out. As does the thought of eating the fatty/cartilage/membrane stuff that is on the boneless […]

My daily checklist has a purpose

September 23, 2009 By Dana White 3 Comments

I’ve been gone all day. ALL day. So, I sat down here to do my daily checklist. I did well on my morning tasks, such as emptying the dishwasher and sweeping the kitchen. When I sat down just now, I thought to myself “I haven’t noticed anything, I’m sure the other areas are fine.” Seriously? […]

Done . . . Whew!

September 22, 2009 By Dana White 9 Comments

I did it. I cleaned off my desk. I did NOT feel like it, but I did it. Sometimes when I don’t feel like it, I’ll get into the mood once I get started. Not this time. I never got into the mood, but I didn’t quit. I really sound crabby today, and I’ll blame […]

Daily checklist – and putting off the big stuff

September 22, 2009 By Dana White 3 Comments

I need to do my daily checklist, right? I have to get it done or that would be procrastinating, right? It’s not that I’m putting off the desk cleanup. Not at all. Today I: Made bed. Made lunches (forgot to last night). Cleaned kitchen. Swept kitchen. Ran some laundry. Did 5 minute walk through. Checked […]

Feeling overwhelmed

September 22, 2009 By Dana White 7 Comments

I’m determined to make some progress this week. Yesterday I cleared one small corner of the office/gameroom, and while that corner looks much better, the room still looks awful. I think that I should work my way around the room to get it done. However, if it takes three hours to clear/organize four feet of […]

Menu Plan Monday

September 21, 2009 By Dana White 3 Comments

I’m not in the mood today, to be honest, but I’m going to do a menu plan because I have seen in the last few weeks how much it helps me. I’m trying so hard to focus on the decluttering that I know I could easily end up scrambling for dinner if I don’t plan […]
