Category: Declutter and Organize

I had to go into work today to pick up some papers for a student. I had planned on cleaning and packing up my teacher desk area, but that didn’t happen. I overslept, so by the time I checked in with the office, got the paperwork I needed, and visited with the ladies covering the office today, it was already 9:00. I had to leave by 11:00 to get home in time for my first Google Meet with my class. Maybe next Tuesday I can get both of the boys to go in with me to get a bunch of packing done? I really wish that we could just leave everything as is and just have them clean the carpets where the student desks are.

• Made bed
• No clean dishes to empty today
• Didn’t water plants, shower this morning
• Started the dishwasher

I didn’t do a lot of housework today, but I did do my daily items. This morning was Planning Day with Lisa Woodruff. After that was over, I worked in my planner a bit. When I got to the section on creating routines for myself, I pulled up A Slob Comes Clean and started looking for the show notes of the podcast I listened to recently about her cleaning basics. Then I just started reading and taking notes. Before I knew what hit me, I had the writing bug again. I’ve been writing all afternoon and evening. I’ve added several new topics for my blog and have several posts in the works. I don’t have a set routine in the planner yet, but I do know what I need to get done daily to get my house cleaned.

• Made bed
• Emptied dishwasher
• Folded and hung the laundry I started Friday
• not enough dishes today to run tonight (only a few plates, cups and utensils)
