oh its going pretty well folks well done! My task for this week is to make all those phone calls and write letters that I have been putting off for ages

Well I was a good girl last week and did my daily clicks and click throughs etc.So feeling pretty good about myself.This week I'm going to be big and brave and I'm going to set myself a freecycle challenge as I have loads of stuff just hanging around that I cant be bothered to Ebay and tbh Ebay is so expensive at the moment it isnt worth selling them.So I'm gonna bite the bullet and get it all posted AND I'm going to tackle the coat cupboard and wash and freecycle all the outgrown hats,scarves and coats in there too.So a big challenge for me this week but it should bring big results in my house as it should look miles less cluttered

Hello everyone :hello:

My change this week will be to get up at the same time every day. I've been very naughty and sleeping whenever I feel like it, which is not good for jobhunting!

Even when I AM employed, I always get up at the last minute and have to get ready in a rush. Not good.

Today I got up very late, so I've just decided my change this week will be to get up every day at... Okay, haven't decided exactly what time. Any ideas?

Bit slow on the uptake here but can I join in?

In a Flylady-stylee, I'm going to start with getting my clothes ready for work the night before. I often can't be bothered to do this by the time I get home from work, go to the gym, eat my dinner then collapse on the sofa.

This probably isn't the most important or urgent thing that needs sorting but it's relatively straightforward, realisitic and achievable. Plus, it should help me get out of the door a bit quicker in the morning.

Melika I think a good time to start with would be about 7.30AM. If nothing else it will get you back into the swing of things for when you get your job.
I get up at 6.15 each day, sometimes later at the weekend but unfortunately my body clock wakes me then anyway! Sometimes I don't want to get up but I like my ½ hour with my coffee and the news before the little monsters awake! HTH

My inbox isn't empty It was, but now it's full again. I blame a full on weekend where I haven't had time to sort it.

On the bright side, my desk is looking quite tidy!

So for this week my challenge will be:

Keep inbox empty
Keep desk tidy

Might not be easy, though - kids are on two week break from school!!

Have caught up on most of the business paperwork tonight, so I intend to leave the desk clear, with all papers filed neatly and tidily! Except . . . the tax stuff is sitting on top of the printer - have nearly everything ready to hand in to the accountant. Actually, I'll go get a big envelope to put it in right now! There - that doesn't look nearly so bad

Well I have brought washing in and ironed it straight away, also made sure I have breakfast every morning. Next week I will try and drink at least a litre of water every day.

I have failed misserably.

Before I get stoned alive, let me explain that I am having a flare-up, am constantly in pain and fatigued, and can't sleep at night. So when I finally get to sleep, I just go for it!

So I have failed completely. And realistically, I won't be able to do it this week. Maybe when I feel better.

So I have to replace that change for another one. *Goes off to have a think*

Well I'm doing well with my menu planning but still have half of my laundry basket to put away. Hopefully by posting here I'll be motivated to finish putting the rest away!

I'm a late arrival on the scene here, but I need to do this to. I work from home and was drowning in pieces of paper related to my business. My challenge this week is to finish the filing away of old paperwork and make certain all new contacts get entered into my new contacts management database.
