60 minutes a day in a more productive way challenge:)

Yesterday I made an appointment for a sight test, an appointment with the dentist, and I did a trial run of my new walk to work, to make sure I know the way and how long it takes. I also picked up a present and card for mother's day, and a laundry basket for the bedroom, since DH seems to be incapable of making the trip to the kitchen. That all took longer than 60 minutes, but I'm finding that I want to be productive for longer than 60 minutes now...I may be getting my mojo back!

Today I completed a form for my brother, watched a TV episode I've been meaning to watch since Monday, bought large envelopes, and filed paperwork. Now I'm awaiting the arrival of MIL with a cup of herbal tea.

Today's hour was spent doing tomorrow's jobs!! Needing shopping for a charity 3 course dinner for 22 (don't ask:eek::eek::D) and tomorrow was designated shopping day. Found enough time to do it today, so hopefully the rest of the week might be a bit less frantic!

Food shop done!! Bought some bits for the garden and now just waiting for a sunny day so i can crack on and sort it!

Half an hour spent cleaning upstairs and the other half spent pampering myself, hot bath, hair washed, full body moisturise - just the toe nails to make pretty that's a job for 2morow me thinks !

DD is still off sick so the day has been out of routine again :wall:

I'm not sure if I managed 60 mins but I folded up and put away two loads of washing :cool:

Hope everyone else has managed to be more productive

all in all a productive day to day now considering a walk for a bottle of wine or a bath and a bit of a pamper hmm could do both, nothing on the tv so could soak in bath whilst drinking wine well done everyone

Hello Lamarsi, just stumbled on here, what a fab thread, can I join in too please! I'm one of the worlds worst procrastinator, or maybe the best lol! This is just the motivation I need, my house is a cluttered mess, I'm doing an open uni course, which I keep putting off doing the reading etc so am now behind
You have really motivated me...I'm going to get off my butt right now, and in my 60 mins, I'm going to : fill up a charity bag that will be collected tomorrow, have a quick shower, and spend at least 30 mins reading.....
Thanks lamarsi!

Hope you are all ok and enjoying the challenge.

I haven't had a very productive day today, as I had to go for a colposcopy and had a biopsy, and now feel like poo. I did manage to do a bit of tidying, arrange for a charity collection and send an email that I've been meaning to for ages, but otherwise I'm staying in bed and reading.

This is a fantastic thread and full of great ideas for jobs too. I'm definitely doing this but apologise now for using the idea but possibly not posting often.

We've just brought a new puppy into our home so I'm re-arranging my 'normal' household days including working full-time (from home thank goodness!) and looking after my 2 year old at each end of the day and spending time with my husband. This 60 minute challenge is exactly what I need as I feel overwhelmed most days.

I can manage the normal running of the house but everything above and beyond that seems insurmountable, I think this could be the answer.

So I'm going to give it a go in the background and I will jump back in at some point to update. Thanks lamarsi :T
