An in-between phase

Good idea about the March challenge. I can’t always get as much stuff done as I’d like due to lack of spare time. So I’m in 🙂

I’ve got some jobs lurking around ‘looking at me’ that would be good to get done …! 😉 Please include me 😊

Rightyhoo @redofromstart @Blackcats @Sun_Addict @KajiKita let's do this!

Obviously everyone has their own day to day work/home/family stuff that needs to be done so the challenge is entirely adaptable with no set rules, but how nice would it be for the clocks to go forward and there be nothing or at least a minimum on the 'overall life stuff that should have been tended to by now' list that hasn't been done or progressed?!

Getting A Big Thing off the to-do list is amazing, but small movements are big wins too- every day, whatever is niggling in the mind or the diary, we try to do something about.

Some of mine are frankly daft that they haven't been done- that youspot property thing asked me for extra pics and clarification on an address I submitted. It is ten minutes walk from me. I have not got round to doing it. This I will aim to do tomorrow.

Some things are bigger, like work ideas no-one has asked for but I'm only mugging myself if I don't set aside 'a whole 30 minutes' to just focus and jot down notes and ideas. I will aim to do this too tomorrow.

Some are things that will take five minutes like replying to messages from friends and family. Feels overwhelming because there are several. I am quite capable of writing a few texts. This I will do tomorrow.

So I guess our aim is: choose a thing every day that's getting on our nerves in the background and do something about it!

Count me in the March challenge. Some of mine are weather dependent but I have plenty that aren't like catching up with reading my magazine that I received a subscription for Christmas, currently one and a half issues behind, chitting my potatoes look - yes I realise in will only take a couple of minutes, a couple of phone calls and the list goes on.

And I've been inspired to turn out my (large) in-basket & deal with every single item!

Absolutely, I'm in for this! I have quite a few of these at the moment, a couple for our home, some for DH, some for DS and some for a relative who I help to look after. I've also got work stuff to work through too so this would be incredibly helpful. 

** makes a note to do a brainstorm tonight of all the stuff I want to get done by the end of March **

It's too often the easier things that keep getting rolled over isn't it @Baileys_Babe!

Amazing work @foxgloves 👏 

Sounds like a plan @Spendywendywoo

How are you going with the start of Smashing March

Do we think this merits a separate thread or keep it here?
