Daily goals, motivation and check in

Daily goals, motivation and check in

I'm starting this discussion as a place where we can set our goals daily, help motivate each other to do them and then check in with how we went. It's a place to celebrate when we achieve them or just sit with each other if we didnt and are feeling down about it. Hopefully with encouragement and support from each other we'll tick lots of boxes for our daily goals and feel good about it. Please join in. 😊

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

I woke up cranky this morning (probably connected with my partners very noisy sleep disturbing nightmares) but this thread has brought some sunshine into my day. All your goals sound wonderful and I hope that setting these intentions (no matter the outcome) makes this a better day for you.

Right, my goal is to shake this mood and find some inner-sunshine.

Good luck everyone

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi all,

Yesterday was a sleep day for the most part as it turned out, so the only things I got done from my list were: go to the shops for milk, check for mail, ring friend about getting together. No cake icing for me, lol.

I've now had a lot of sleep over the past 24 hours and, even though I am still tired, there are now urgent things to do today. Email from the body corp manager here yesterday saying Thursday or Friday will be pest treatment and termite inspection. It involves moving furniture out from walls etc before they arrive. Also the flat is pretty messy so I need to get it in some better order and prepared for this. Looks daunting with companion away (he usually shoulders a heavier burden than me when such domestic matters crop up). But I've already started by, very foggily, making my bed. Other things that need doing:

  • wash and dress
  • take out rubbish
  • clean ensuite
  • vacuum (flat needs it and I'm not sure if body corp manager will be coming in too)
  • tidy up companions bedroom and move stuff out from wall where possible
  • check companion's bathroom for any cleaning or pest prep necessary
  • unpack dishwasher and put dirty dishes in
  • clean kitchen benches
  • shower

There will be more than this. I'll be lucky if I get everything done. Still waiting to find out if they will be here Thursday or Friday. I'm hoping for Friday so I can spread this job over two days instead of one. It's way more than I usually manage to get done in a day at present (or even two days).

Wish me luck!

For @Kurra ..... ❤️💕

Hi everyone 🤗💕

I have started with the unpacking @Former-Member , but I have this thing where Icant just wheel my case over to my wardrobe and just tip it in ... like my baby dragons do .... lol ....

Land we packed in such a hurry to go at the end of last year .... and we were packing concisely for both freezing and warm temperatures .... and that involved some burrowing around in the wardrobe and laying things out about the room ....

And here is the next confession .... my wardrobe has become an artist's palette for me .... when I couldn't paint .... too heartsore .... too robbed of time, or space to set up, or ... or ... or .... I began to "paint with clothes" ....

I now have an amazing 30yo scarf collection, for instance .... and I am a bit of a caterpillar re shoes .... and I have a store cupboard off the bedroom that I have claimed as my wardrobe / Aladdin's Cave and at the moment Aladdin's Cave is looking somewhat burgled .... cos I threw it all in there to leave the bedroom tidy-ish when we left ....

So this is a very large part of not having unpacked my case yet .... I have to resort my AladdinsCave Art Studio Wardrobe .....

😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:😜😆😊 ....

And yes, I have started pulling it all back out now that I can take over the bedroom to sort it properly, which I can't do with a Cyclone WH in residence ....

Thinking of you. Oh and one of the things I was going to say was can your phams worker help you move the heavy stuff tomorrow? Just a thought. Hoping you have a good day. Check in for moral support if you want any too. 💜🤗

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Okay, just found out pest treatment and termite inspection is on Thursday (dang). But, now that I'm more awake, I realise that Thursday is two days away, not one as I was thinking this morning (yay).

Progress report: I am now washed, breakfasted and medicated. Rubbish is ready to take down. Taking a breather after getting that organised because my back is complaining and I'm out of breath!
