Generally I'm not one to be easily overwhelmed, but in considering what needs to be a priority in my journey to a neat, clean house I keep thinking I want EVERYTHING done- NOW! Time for a change of perspective and to ask myself some questions....
What do I really NEED? Food. Shelter. Clothing. Sleep. Medicine. Water.
From which I derived this list of daily tasks:
- Load and empty one load of dishes.
- Wash, dry, and PUT AWAY one load of laundry- one day per week being the bedding.
- Filter two pitchers of water.
- Cook something.
- Wipe off kitchen counters/stove.
What do I need but is not necessary to my survival? Clean food prep. Money (later). Clean litterboxes. Medicine.
So my next priority would be:
- Organize medicine.
- Clean litterboxes.
- Clean kitchen.
What would make me feel better? Baths. Decreased allergens. Healthy meals.
- Declutter- less to dust.
- Brush cats.
- Bathe cats.
- Dust regularly.
- Wash linens regularly.
- Clean bathtub and jets.
- Organize food.
- Plan menus.
What would help me work more efficiently?
- Organize all my craft/upcycling items.
- Organized desk.
- Clean couch.
- Organized computer work area. (Need to get that big old desk of my Mom's so I'm not limited to the couch!)
- Meals ready to go at lunch time.
- Work schedule.
Phew! It's only a start, but every little crossed-off task will get me that much closer to my goal of a simpler, cleaner, more organized life!
