Productivity

Today was a productive day .. last night was too. I found a bunch of new blogs about being more organized and productive. I think they'll help a lot.

I feel as though there is so much more I could be doing in the typical day and I don't get it accomplished - for whatever reason. I want to do the mundane things that should be done and enjoy my time too.

Today I finally took all those bags of clothes to the Goodwill. I cleaned out my drawers and closets months back but just piled them all up and left them to sit and gather dust. It's stupid how easy it was to put them in bags and take them to the Goodwill. I just don't understand why it takes me so long to DO things, particularly when it comes to my house.

I'm going to get back into Flylady again. It's the only thing I've tried in the past that had SOME effect on my households cleanliness. I just try to do too much and then when I can't keep up with my own expectations I give up entirely.

Babysteps is what the flylady says and yet I never seem to GET that ...

Tonight, cleaning the sink out .. I always do like it when my sink is clean.

Today I also cleaned out all the recyclables that were taking up space in my kitchen. I think that if you ignore things long enough you cease to see them. I certainly think that's the case with these things because they've been gathering for months and I just keep piling more on top of them. I'd rather be doing one of my hobbies than cleaning my house, yet at this point I'm embarrassed to have anybody come visit. When Ryan was here a couple weeks ago I didn't want him to come into my house but I sucked it up and let him in, profusely apologizing all the the way.

I don't like that feeling. Flylady says it's, 'CHAOS - Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome' -- man is it ever chaos in here.
