I'm taking a wee break from romances and am currently reading Dana K White's "How to manage your home without losing your mind." The upshot from the first half of the book is to basically "just do it". The author started with doing dishes every single night (rather than accumulating until no clean dishes in sight). Once she had that under her cap for a week straight, she started sweeping the floor every night; this entailed picking messes up from the floor so initially took much longer, but once she got going it was a fast thing to do. Apparently you just keep adding something that bugs YOU to the list every week or so, and after a month your house is visitor friendly in 5 minutes or so. Seeing is believing....
I admit that I usually leave the dishes to do the next morning but hey always get done. I have a small kitchen so I don't like to much mess on my countertops.
I read Between Ice and Frost by Milly Taiden not too long ago. I need to read more books but my attention span is that of a gnat right now.
ReplyDeleteI understand that completely. You have a ton on your plate.
