Doing what Needs to Be Done
Yesterday, I lolled around being bored. I followed Casey around, I played with the dogs, I zoned on the computer, I ignored many many things around me. Till Casey gave me this sage advice, When you are bored, stop and look around the room you are in, and do what needs to be done.
I tackled the mountain of clean laundry that had been waiting for days. Gathered all the random dirty piles and put them in waiting baskets. Made the bed, dusted and wiped down everything, vacuumed and cleaned the ceiling fan. And then I purged my vanity, lined it with drawer paper and wiped it all down. I still need to wash the dog beds, cycle through some laundry, and iron the curtains, but it is so much better than it was.
I have to say that I am continually amazed at how much I can SEE needs to be done when I just look. And then how much I CAN get done if I just do it. I actually have the urge to finish painting the bedroom doors, which have been waiting for 4 years. :)

Whoa!!! I looooooove the picture idea. Visuals are so strong for me...and I know they motivate kids too. Now I have to gather up the courage next time I am bored... and do this myself! I promise to post it.
congratulations! what a difference you made in those rooms!
pictures are a great motivator. how brave of you to post them publicly! I usually send them to a friend or two and say "look what I did!".
nice advice from Casey!
