Pausing for lunch. Homeschool had a rough start but I was expecting it after having a 4-day break. I just reminded DS10 about the acceptable and unacceptable attitude that I would accept. As long as I clearly define the boundaries and stay consistent, then he is a quick study.
Wondering when RR will be back home? I miss her posting.
I would love to see what your cards are..
I suspect only the most sidetrackable person would understand my need to use these cards. When I set up my card box this time, I did it with one rule. I can only add a card for things that I forget to do. AFTER I forget to do something then I add a card to remind me and set the frequency to do it. I suspect 99.9% of the people would not need a card to remind them to do the simplest of things. But I fall into that .1% that do need them. Example.....
** the day my teeth felt yucky, then I realized I forgot to brush them....I added a "Brush teeth" card that is checked off daily.
** I started wondering when the last time I changed the sheets on the beds. Was it last week or last month? I really didn't know. So....I added a weekly card "Change bed sheets". If life is busy and I can't get to this card, then it sits and waits for me with a reminder of how many days it has been since the task was last done. 8 days. 9 days. 10 days. 11 days. 12 days....etc.
** When I completely clean and decluttered an area....then I added a daily card to check that area to make sure nothing has changed. I have learned the hard way that if I don't purposely "stop & look" at the area then it will slowly fill up with STUFF. Because this is a daily card, most times it takes less than a minute to put that area back to company ready status.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
