Living in a cluttered and dirty home is not uplifting to my soul. I never feel quite devoted to the fun tasks that I'm doing like reading a book or baking because I see out of the corner of my eye the pile of things that need to be sorted and tidied. What is the problem? Do I not know how to clean? Do I just have too much $h!t to keep track of? Do I just need to throw everything over and start fresh?
I'm bound and determined to fix this problem, because i'm not going to live my entire life with the house winning the battle. So I'm going to take it in baby steps. This week I will keep the kitchen clean. It will be clean every day before I go to work and every evening before I go to sleep. That is the goal...we will see how it works out.
Ohhhhh boy. I can sympathize with this, and I will be rooting for things to stay tidy for you. You've probably always been tidier than me, but I've noticed that as I grow up a bit, mess starts to bug me more and more... and smaller amounts of shtuff piled around make the cut for what qualifies as a mess....
ReplyDeleteAnd having things clean does make everything else more enjoyable, I think. Less guilt, and more certainty as far as where all my stuff is, so life isn't so rushed when I have to head out the door.
You need more Gold Stars, and you should give yourself one every time you meet your Tidy Goals.
