The magic of tidying

[Dimity]

Not sure how many t-shirts and tops is too many @Glisten @Oaktree but I can't bring myself to toss them. 

Hope your 10 minute stints are working @NatureLover . I'm now trying for an hour or 25 minutes. I'm happy if I can do 2 or 3 a day as it's hard to do more. Still trying to get back on track and build up to a solid day's work.

Hey guys. I picked up stuff off the floor. Swept. Didn’t mop (thinking of mopping tomorrow). Cleared and cleaned the table, bench and half the sink. Also cleaned the toilet. Got my son and his fiance visiting tonight so it was good motivation to do some cleaning. The place looks much better!

[Dimity]

Well done @Oaktree . I put on a couple of washes - bad timing as there were storms and downpours this afternoon.

@Dimity 

Well done, maybe you can get the washing dry tomorrow. Main thing is that you did it! x

[Dimity]

Hooray for dryers @Oaktree it's all dry and put away

@Dimity 

Oh great that’s a win then

@Oaktree @NatureLover @Shaz51 @tyme today I started decluttering a tabletop of papers and folders. I'll try to persevere with the decluttering.  I have 7weeks until major surgery when I'll be out of action for a while.  No housework or lifting for 6 weeks, recovered after 3 months, but no more heavy lifting or strenuous gardening ever. But I have soooo many boxes, and so much stuff to do in the garden it's scary.

I need a Plan of Action. I think I do best when I get into a routine.  At least it worked for starting to walk regularly (I still do). I need to get over procrastination/tiredness/lack of motivation/feeling overwhelmed. Everything I've tried (but failed) to do on this thread before.

Hey,

I need to get organised and do some cleaning up ready for Christmas day.

You can do it!

Just take one day at a time.

Good luck for your surgery

Thanks @Oaktree .

Let's see what we can do this week!

Let’s challenge ourselves to do one thing each day. Tomorrow I will work on clearing the bench in the kitchen and cleaning it
