Lazy Cleaning

I'm back and so are my weekly goals

Hope you all had a great holiday...well, if you live in the U.S. and celebrated Thanksgiving. Our holiday was ok. Honestly, Thanksgiving isn't my fave holiday, but I'll take the paid time off. Thursday, Mr. LL and I ended up staying home and just relaxing because that's just the way things turned out. Friday was supposed to be Thanksgiving with my family, but Mr. LL had to work (he couldn't turn down the extra money when we need every penny), so I went by myself. My mom was supposed to go with her wife and mother-in-law, but they were both feeling sick. So she went solo as well. It was a small get together but we all had a good time.

Back to weekly goals. I totally used the holiday/time off as an excuse to slack off, but it's time to get back into the groove. I feel like my daily goals are about as much as I can handle right now, so I'm going to start adding a weekly task. Things that I can get done any day of the week but need to be done at least once a week.

So, to recap, my daily tasks are:

  • Make the bed EVERY DAY.
  • Put away the clean dishes in the morning.
  • Spend 10 minutes a day on dishes.
  • Do something laundry related every day.
  • 10 minute pick up before bed.

For my first weekly task:

  • Clean the bathroom

Starting soon, I'll be adding "big projects" to these lists. I need to start making room for the baby as well as get things ready for Christmas, which we are hosting my family for the first time EVER this year. These projects won't necessarily have a set timeline, but they are things I want to be mindful of and work into my schedule.

    Weekly Goals

    So, yeah, I didn't do so hot with the new goal last week. I'm hoping to truly work on it this week. I've also been catching myself wanting to let the other stuff slide too, but I'm chalking it up to last week being a bit crazy. However, as we enter the holiday season I know the weeks are just going to be crazier still. We'll see how I do then.

    I am tempted to not add a new goal this week since I didn't do the one I added last week, but I need to keep moving forward and pushing myself. So, for this week:

    • Make the bed EVERY DAY.
    • Put away the clean dishes in the morning.
    • Spend 10 minutes a day on dishes.
    • Do something laundry related every day.

    To clarify that last one, what I mean is start a load of laundry, put clothes in the dryer or just put the clothes in the dryer away. I'm not asking myself to do a load every day, but I am trying to get into the habit of thinking about the laundry and laying my hands on it every day.

    Mid-Week Check In

    I'm checking in! I have been doing pretty good with my tasks this week. I've kept up with making the bed. I forgot to put the dishes away this morning, but I'll do that as soon as I get home. The new task, spending 10 minutes every day on the dishes, hasn't been happening because Mr. LL has been doing the dishes (yesssssssss). We try to alternate chores, but lately I've just been tackling the dishes so they get done. He's been tackling this week out of guilt. Heh.

    No meal plan this week. Halloween kinda derailed my grocery shopping, so we've been just winging it all week. :/ Not the best, but it happens.

    Hope you are having a good week!
