Hi :wave:
Well, didn't complete last week's list, but that's not unusual :rolleyes:. I also didn't have time to put up a daily list, but I did have the list in my mind and did what I could. I am starting to see (slight) progress (I'm ready for tomorrow a whole 3 hours earlier than last Sunday!).
Anyway, here it is:
This week I promise that I will- Do the housework. Have tidied, but not really cleaned - might try to do a bit during the week.
- Do the washing. Done although I might do some more and finally get to the bottom of the laundry basket!
- Do the ironing. Will do tonight.
- Go shopping and get enough food for the week. Half done.
- Clear out some paperwork at work every day.
- Clear out some paperwork at home.
- Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day.
- Do any new things on the day they come in.
- Do one thing every day to make me feel/look better.
- Write to a pension scheme to update details.
- Spend 30 minutes every day doing something for work that I keep putting off because there is always something else that needs to be done first (and so this stuff is always at the back of my mind).
- Leave work on time every day.
- Do one thing that needs to be done because it's irritating me!
