Clean House

The theme of my first month is going to be a cleaner house, of course. I'm having a hard time formulating a plan - so much to do, and if I had time to clean, wouldn't I be doing it now? The way I see it, my two options will be to set aside dedicated time and to take advantage of small periods of time. Will have time to think about it more today.

Gretchen Rubin's post today included a valuable thought:

“Pleasures that are in themselves innocent lose their power of pleasing if they become the sole or main object of pursuit.”
-The Map of Life, William Edward Hartpole Lecky

A stumbling block this week has been my desire to "do nothing," knitting, reading and napping instead of using my time to move forward. There's good reasons for that right now, but I needed the reminder that leisure activities need to stay in their place. I'll feel much better if I push to be more productive.

My day-to-day plan as I see it now:

Monday: Cooking - cook for Monday, Tuesday, and one freezer meal. Work in the afternoon/evening.

Tuesday: Work all day.

Wednesday: Morning time free; counseling appointment.

Thursday: Appointments - counseling and days with Mom.

Friday: Alternate work/ at home.

Saturday: See Friday

Sunday: Free day. Really want to include church.

Maybe I can plan time by looking at my schedule at the beginning of each week.
