1. Write a daily To Do list - only 3 tasks + a weekly Jettison Junk in January
2. Sort out sleep patterns - target bed by 2:00 a.m. & up by 9:00 a.m
3. Deal with mail & email on a daily basis
4. Don’t put it down, put it away + deal with mini tasks as soon as they are noticed e.g. refill olive oil pourer or salt cellar, stitch up a hole in a garment etc
5. Commence ‘Operation Frog Tickling’ using the acronym - I.R.I.S. (Identify, Research, Implement, Sign Off) - One per quarter
6. Continue to keep kitchen clean & tidy - before going to bed
Good afternoon on this not quite so chilly Tuesday. The sky is blue, the sun is shining, the temperature is 3C & I have my 1st cuppa 🙂 Only woke up at 12:30 but at least I had warmed up 😉
QueenJess, sorry to hear that DS was ill over the entire weekend 😔 Although pleased to hear that you delegated at least one task to DH 😉 which I hope he did with good grace 🤞 Some great decluttering even in your zombified state 👏 The kitchen sounds like it is coming along nicely 🙂
Brambling, DH does make lovely rock cakes 😊 We have discussed having a bake off 😉 as I have an HB Rock Buns recipe which we have enjoyed in the past 😉 Great decluttering in the kitchen - I hope you counted each item of plastic cutlery 😉 & good work chipping away at the financial paperwork frog 👏
Excellent decluttering Florafauna 👏 Shame about the mince pies but if no-one likes them, then no point in cluttering up your freezer 👏
Betharooni, sorry to hear that you were feeling rough over the weekend 😔 However, I am gratified to learn that you spent your time in the TLC Carriage crafting & clearing down the contents of your Sky planner 👏😊 Hopefully you spent a little more time in there yesterday (during any breaks) as you were working from home 🙏 & fingers crossed you will feel a lot better by Wednesday 🤞
TC77, sounds like DD2 is learning some good habits 😊 & is definitely trying harder - probably because she is starting to realise that looking after her own space requires at least some effort on her part 😉 Perhaps a visit next month to hand over the large pan & steamer & any other items she might have requested in the meantime 😊 Not that you would be checking up on her or anything 🙊 Hope that the cs bag was dropped off & that the multi-cooker was picked up 🤞
Liverpool_Anne, you had a busy Sunday 👏 whatever happened to a day of rest 😉 A lovely chatty post 😊 my favourite being your response to CMD79 “scraps of cardmaking paper I can relate to, I have a few things like that, and scraps of ribbon etc, you are not alone 😀 Some of it I blame on the fact I used to teach and we would get through loads of stuff like that making various things and now I am retired I am having a problem breaking the habit though I have cracked the yoghurt pots which now go into the recycling 😀 1 habit at a time 😀” I hope the 3rd attempt at your family meet up was successful 🤞
Lovely post StickyTheStickInsect 😊
Thanks for that weenancyinAmerica 👏 I have learnt something new 😊
Now, now Natty68 ‘wagging finger emoji’ Every box sorted out is another step towards a clutter free home & should be celebrated 👏 Sounds like a perfect weekend of re-charging your Life Batteries - watching the birds & napping 😊 Sorry to hear that it is taking so long to get your medical records transferred to your new doctor’s surgery 😔 😠 Fingers crossed that your Econsult goes well & that your meds are sorted asap 🤞
Fizz2015, sending positive vibes that you can get some proper assistance for your DD 🙂🤞
Dfw38, sorry to hear about your eldest DD 😔 Hopefully with all the shared experiences of your Declutterati family you can set the wheels in motion to get some assistance 🙏 & also get your DH on board 🙏 Wishing you success in filling bags 8 & 9 🤞
~FlowerPot~ thank you for sharing your experiences and expertise 😊
GrannyKate, thank you for the information re transferring medical records 👏 Good luck with munching on DS2’s frogs 🍀
A perfect place to stop for a while whilst I make another cuppa 😉
