I'm finished except for the sermon. May or may not work on that.
My review of chore bingo:
1. 4 x 4 was more than enough. On the other hand, I have 13 ready to fill in for tomorrow since I had originally done a 5 x 5 so that's 9 extra, a couple from today will be repeated tomorrow plus I thought of a couple while working around.
2. While my weekly houseblessing (which was the majority of my chores) got done, it would have been more efficient and possibly more timely to do it in my regular order since one chore builds onto another.
3. Leaving my bed unmade all day drove me nuts. On a normal Monday, old sheets stripped off and into the washer. Fresh sheets on, tidy, dust, vacuum the bedrooms. Dust and vacuum living room. Flip laundry at some point in there. Dust and vacuum the office and kitchen. Empty the dryer, mop the kitchen and other floors, fold sheets and put away while the floors dry, put everything back down on the clean floors. That takes 2.5 hours from start to finish, including some rests in there.
Leaving the vacuum and duster out also bothered me. Leaving in the middle of all that meant coming home to a mess instead of at least the living room and bedroom wing finished. I wouldn't have got the kitchen and office nor the mopping done before leaving at 9:30 but the apartment would have looked neater when I got home.
4. I did get to some paperwork items because they came up first. And the vitamins. On the other hand, the vitamins were the first item which are normally something I do when I'm tired, not fresh and raring to go. Also, in order to get on to the next task, there are more piles of undone/part done paper work around.
So, while it was a success, I'm not sure it works best for me.
I do need to figure out how to make myself do the paperwork. I'm not good about doing a bit each day, as Harmony is; nor do I have a desk-day like Harriet does. (To be honest, I do have a desk day, I just make sure I'm out doing something with someone else that day!)
I'll give this some thought and think about joining in tomorrow.
In the meantime, I'll start the Tuesday Bingo so the Australians can have at it while we are sleeping if they want to play.
