No Excuses

Okay! It's Monday, I like Mondays, call me weird. I feel like it's time to get down to business I feel my most motivated on Mondays, well most of the time. So today, despite the horrible sleep due to Thunderstorms, I got a lot done. With my son heading back to school Thursday and I start homeschooling my toddler on Monday there is tons to do. Plus, we had a lazy Staycation last week and I have a lot to kind of catch up on.


I will not lie to you, I woke up with dread as my alarm went off at 6:15 AM. I mean just a measly 4 hours total of sleep. UGH. However, I had stuff I had to do! Not just my daily mom and wife duties, I had so much to get done and organized. I want the start of the school year to go off as best as I can and my time is dwindling.

I want you this week to focus on a task! Maybe more than one task and I want you to DO IT! Just Do it! Look at the clock and then say okay I am going to unload and load the dishes. When you are done, look at the clock again. You will see minutes, not even 10 minutes to do that task (I hate dishes and folding laundry). Laundry will be more time consuming than unloading and loading the dishwasher.

So today was my day of "Just Do It" (my husband thinks I made a mess). I FINALLY sorted my son's school work by year and it's ready to get filed. 4 years of drawings, funny stories he wrote, Mother's Day cards, etc. I organized them by school year in stacks and they are ready to go in their filers when I go shopping later this week.

I organized my pantry as well, cleaned a little, and did some other odds and ends.

Tomorrow I am tackling the fridge. EEEK

So today, GO! Just do what you need to do! Tackle the closets, tackle the garage , tackle tackle tackle. Go forth and be positive! Think of the end, when you are done!

If you are going back to school look at the thing you are dreading. Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. It seems like yeah, it might not be fun, but it has to be done.  Once you get some of the stuff done you will know where you stand. Like cleaning out the closets, do it, and you will say "OH Suzie, you need new skirts" :)

Don't focus on the negative, focus on the positive and just do the task you need to do.

Happy Task Attacking!
