I love Mondays now that I'm retired. I loved my job/career but I am a homebody. I was able to work from home on occasion and I loved it! I mentioned yesterday about my rotation schedule of craft projects. Well, I have the same thing for my cleaning and de-cluttering/organizing projects.
At the beginning of this year I wrote down all the things I want/need to do in all areas. It was a brain dump. Then I have a list of monthly chores, weekly chores, and daily chores that are repetitive. For my weekly plan which I usually do on Monday morning, I incorporate items from the Master List, the monthly chores and the weekly chores. After I have my weekly plan I divide it among the days of the week and id my BIG ROCKS or the most important items that need to be done that day. High on the list are always food and clean clothes.
Today was make the eggplant parmesan that I didn't get around to yesterday but I had a supper for last night. My next cleaning and organizing project is the porch. I had a bunch of blankets out there that I had used to cover my plants outside when we had frosts. Those are in the washer now. The other BIG ROCK was empty and reline the garbages and get the big container out to the street as they pick up early on Tuesdays. Once the BIG ROCKS are done then I pick other things to do on my list. Even if I get nothing else done I know the most important things to keep my home running smoothly are finished for the day. Trust me, my list for today had lots on it! What doesn't get done today will go on tomorrow's list so nothing falls between the cracks. If I think of new things during the day I write them down with an S in front of them which reminds me to schedule them. So far, I'm off to a good start and still getting things done.
We had a great storm this morning with thunder and lightening and a driving rain. I lit the candles and had a cozy morning enjoying my coffee and catching up on the news.
I worked on hexies while watching the game last night. I only made it to halftime and that was it for me so I had to logon this morning to find out Kansas City won!!! Yay!!! This will be the last full hexie and the rest are partials.
Today I worked on The Star on breaks............
I also picked up this one.......because don't we all want to write a book before we die? I think I'd better hurry up!
I'm currently still reading Sylvia Browne's A Psychic's Guide to our World and Beyond...The Other Side and Back.............it makes a lot of sense to me..........and then I'm almost finished with Murphy's Law by Rhys Bowen; a mystery series about a girl from Ireland that my daughter recommended....so far, so good!
I'm going to go sit down and go through some paperwork.....ughh! But it must be done!
Happy Trails!!!

Why do we wake up on Monday with the most energy. You did get quite a bit done before you wrote this post. And to think you are still doing work after posting.............yup, that is a lot of energy. I like your thought of BIG ROCKS. I never thought of some of my daily/weekly items that have to be done to keep the household running smoothly. Your star xstitch is pretty. Looks like you got quite a bit done on it today.
I was so much better at accomplishing things when I worked. I was just thinking today that I used to get up, shower, dry my hair and put it in hot rollers, make up, dressed, packed my lunch and put supper in the crockpot - possibly ran a load in the washer and moved to dryer, started my car, did my hair and drove 30 minutes to work to arrive by 7:45 to make the coffee.
Well, it didn't take long for all that to go out the window LOL
You are organized! I am not THAT organized! Hope you have a great week!
I like your lists. I need to get more organized. Like Miss Merry, I was more organized and got more done when I worked full-time. Now I think I have plenty of time and waste too much of it.
It snowed all day here, I would rather have rain and thunder. Mandy said it snowed all day in Omaha and was still snowing when I talked to her this evening. No school for Piper today and it was already canceled for tomorrow!
I'm ready to go home. I want to get started on the rest of our lives. I'm trying to be patient. Not a strong point for me.
Take care Sam, don't work too hard.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
I've also tried to create a routine/schedule for cleaning and being the procrastinator that I am, the to-do list just keeps growing while I tend to get nothing on it done and do everything else instead. :) Who knows, one day maybe I'll get my act together. Some days I get a sudden burst of energy and think, I need to clean that or do this and I'm all in and wind up spending hours organizing. :) Currently reading two books; working on a granny star blanket; crocheting hearts; walking once or twice a day. Think I need to find another cross-stitch project to add to the mix. :) Take care.
On Writing well is one of my favorite resources.
So a funny thing...when I was reading the first few paragraphs about organizing and planning, I thought you should write a book! LOL...and there you go. You SHOULD write a book.
