Well, I have made a decision. I am not going to make such long lists of things to do anymore, as I never get through them all and end up feeling despondent. So, am going to remember baby steps.
I made my control journal up yesterday and actually did my before bed routine fully last night, it is lovely waking up to a (fairly) tidy living room and a shining sink.
Also got a friend coming for lunch today who is staying for the afternoon, and Hubby is taking me out to dinner tonight, so not going to do too much.
So, tasks for today:
1. [STRIKE]Morning Routine[/STRIKE]
2. [STRIKE]Clean Out Rabbit[/STRIKE]
3. [STRIKE]Take out Rubbish[/STRIKE]
4. Do 10 items of ironing
5. [STRIKE]Go to greengrocers to get bits for lunch[/STRIKE]
6. Cook Lunch
7. 15 mins decluttering spare room
8. 15 mins paperwork sorting
9. Before bed routine.
Forgot to add: [STRIKE]10. need to post 2 items. [/STRIKE]
That will be enough for today. Good luck everyone.
Not done too badly, will probably have to leave the rest now as I need to go and make a start on cooking lunch. Got a whole day free tomorrow tho, so can catch up then instead. Have a good day guys.Sorting my life out to give a better life to my:heartsmil 2 gorgeous boys :heartsmil0 -

Managed to whiz round dailies before I came out this morning and do menu plan for coming week- had been putting that off!
