I made a decision today. Let’s start at the beginning. I work from home. I have a busy schedule but I also like a clean living space. This means that when I feel like I need a break from work, I clean. This has led to far too many work breaks. It’s become more like a procrastination tool and I find myself not making the best use of my time during the day. I also get angry with my husband if I have to do even a second of cleaning when he gets home because I’ve already done so much. I’m making my case for minimalism. 🙂
As of today, I am no longer cleaning during my day. It was AMAZING. I always felt like I should have the house perfectly clean when my family gets home. Why? Yeah, you read that should. It’s because I’m a woman and I feel like that’s what I need to do even though I work full time just like my husband. No more. I had more time to work out, I got SO much done, I finally worked on projects I have been wanting to work on but couldn’t seem to make time for. Guess what? It’s the end of the day, my house is just as clean as if I would have spent all day cleaning. Interesting. Thanks again Erin Falconer!
Some other good things happened today too. I had an awesome workout this morning. I created an accomplishments PPT that I will keep updated on a regular basis. I made one for professional accomplishments and one for personal accomplishments. I have it broken down by quarter and category, with a slide for “major accomplishments” for the year. It felt good to see the accomplishments piling up so quickly.
I also signed up for the mindbodygreen Functional Nutrition Program. I can’t wait to get to the bottom of my reflux issues and I know this program will help. I will certainly share the experience with you along the way!
I’m looking forward to another amazing day tomorrow. Hopefully without the accompanying reflux! I’m taking strict notes now to help identify triggers.
Here’s to tomorrow!
