At the beginning of the pandemic, we were all sent home to telework. I, like many others vowed that at the end, when we all emerged form our homes, a little overweight and pale, I'd have a clean house!
Do I?
Nope! I was bogged down in massive anxiety, and instead ignored the mess around me. Seriously, everything that I've worn during the pandemic exists clean in laundry baskets. I haven't put a damn thing away!
On top of that, the house needs dusting, and just a general picking up! My day lacked the routine and structure of going into the office, so I let it all pile up. I hated myself for doing it, but I also couldn't seem to get up and get it done either.
One day I'd had enough and went back to the website. If you've never been there, it's all about how to gradually get your home in order, and setting a structure to keep it there. I took her method, and customized it to what this house needed.
Have I been following it? I started out, and immediately fell off the wagon. But Monday is another day, and I'll start fresh in Zone 1.
Until then, I'm going to make a list to do this weekend.
- Put away 1 basket of clothes
- Clean up my kitchen
- do 2 things kitchen cleaning-wise from last week's to do list
- Meal plan for the week
- not cleaning related- actually do my long run tomorrow
Let's see if I can get it done?
Anyone else feel overwhelmed by a messy house?
