I like to challenge myself everyday, one task from each of the main focus points in my life, plus an extra four or five mini challenges each day. If I wrote about it like that I think everyone would think I am a complete control freak (I am!) and be very bored. I like challenging myself though. Sounds like you have your own ideas... but what 3 (or more) areas would you like to work on (what do you hate/want to change/improve..), and do one small (or big) thing per day towards it.
I think I'd have a heart attack if an anonymous poster challenged me - we just don't really do that here..don't know why!15/5/12 Paid off Mortgage 1 (£220k) Bought Dream House:www: Dec 13 - Mortage 2 -£116,508. 15/7/18 Mortgage Free Again :j

Did duvet cover blow off line? We lost a huge bath towel and found it 4 weeks later in the hedge. Neither of us noticed it wasn't on the line when we got stuff in!!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Would be a good thought but we dont hang washing out. It goes on a Sheilas Maid.
Earthie I seem to think more in terms of surviving. Like today my intention is to get home, sort the kids out, mark y11 books and try to fit in an episode of BB prior to collapsing.
Maybe I need more strategy!
