Daily goals, motivation and check in

If your lounge suite is up against the wall @Teej, skinny cardboard boxes from somewhere like Bunnings can house the tinned goods behind the lounge (or under the lounge). The boxes are for easy retrieval.

What amazing lists 🙂 ! Such hard work going on around here Good on you all! 🙂

Chatting with you as often as I do Mazy @Mazarita, I particularly 'honed-in' on yours . . . WOW! I don't blame you for not putting everything on the list. Maybe this is a 'list for each phase' job? I think I'd have several lists going at once 😄 But it's over tomorrow & you've had a really, really good 'track-record' with flat checks

@Faith-and-Hope I've just read your tremendously good news about S2 being accepted into University!!! Like a bright light shining the truth of how Faith and Hope will prevail

Thanks @Former-Member .... 💜

Sometimes having faith and hope means finding alternatives .....

An update of my list 🙂

* wash dishes . . . back to just 1 sink full, that I hope to do today 😉
* Wash dirty clothes . . . Only 1 basket left 😄
* Sweep floors . . . that is always a long-term wish/hope 😉 - still wishing 😄
* Mow . . . today's another day 😉 - & today is yet another 1 😄
* Bathe {myself & the puppies :)} . . . maybe after mowing & today is another day 😉 - another maybe, another day 😄
* make the bed . . . not yet . . . but very soon - I'm pretty sure of that ;D
* do something creative {I have this idea of making my child a 3D card out of little sculpture figures I get from the 2nd hand stores :)} . . . this 1 is a daydream more than a long-term wish/hope 😄 - still dreaming 😄
* write more Niquas notes 😉 . . . i'M ENJOYING DOING THIS 1!!! 😄 - still enjoying 😄
* get dressed . . . I'm dressed enough for the day, I might put some shorts on {stop the thighs sweating so much} but a half buttoned shirt'll do today - it's going to get hot!

Encouragement to to everyone who is trying, I don't think success lies in the completion of a task, I think it lies in having the courage to try & risking the possibility of failure - just to have the endurance of courage to try again

Looks like I’ve stumbled trying to get out of the blocks again 😮. Struggled to stay off computer. My list is looking sad but the day isn’t over. The mercury has hit 40 again today with no air conditioning and my fans going flat out so that’s officially my excuse (my mood has been remarkably good so no excuses there), but really I’ve just been distracted all day and had lots of gonna and wanna moments followed by a entire family of squirrels following my every move :face_with_rolling_eyes:😳😜.....and I joined their pack 😂

how is everyone else going?

Hi @lmn83,

come and meet some wonderful friends @Teej, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @Mazarita, @Former-Member

Hi @Former-Member, welcome to this thread. Here, we help each other get motivated.

Almost 8pm and I've finished the cleaning tasks for today, in readiness for flat inspection tomorrow morning. This is the (mammoth for me) amount I got done today:

overhead air filters removed and washed
clean water jug
pack dishwasher and turn on
kitchen top bench clean
clean toaster
clean sandwich maker
wipe down kettle
wipe down juice maker
clean stove top
clean washing machine and dryer
clean front and top of fridge
wipe down top of stereo
clean and organise laundry sink space
spot clean carpet in bedroom
clean side of fridge and rubbish area
sweep courtyard, tidy up out there
clean outside of kitchen bin

Phew. I am sweaty and unwashed but I'll save that for the morning now, after the remaining tasks I have on my list to get the place completely sparkling before the inspection. Thanks for being with me on this journey. Couldn't have done it, or would have done a fraction of it, without this thread to help motivate.

OMG @Mazarita. I just saw this list. It’s huge and fabulous

Well done you 💜🤗
