Motivation Monday
I have a list forming in my mind. If I don’t write it down, I might forget some or all of it and at the end of the day I will have nothing to show except clean hair (because I can cross “take shower” off my list now).
Today my goal is the dining room. I need to declutter and put away items in the attic. I need to dust and roomba. And I find homes for stuff on the table.
I am frustrated because somehow our dining room has become the catch all and it needs to stop. I made a tiny step early in fall by installing a coat rack in the mud room so we would stop throwing our coats over dining room chairs. It got so ridiculous last year we would have several coats piled up and suddenly the chair would just fall over backwards. Not exactly a great use of the chairs, not good for our coats, and it just looked messy.
And I am happy to report my family does use the coat rack and when I start to throw something over the back of a chair, I stop and think about where it really goes.
The chair seats however… if I look into my dining room right now I see Fuller’s game, a box of stationary, two hats, a pile of papers, a bag of yarn, my mouse, and a shirt I need to exchange. This items are squatters and need to evicted!
I haven’t done the roomba in there since before Christmas, so I need to let the dust fly and then sic the roomba on it. If I end the day with an allergy attack, then I think I accomplished my goal.
