I decided it was time to get everything in order piece by piece. I started with work because work pays my bills. I kept doing the bare minimum house work to keep the dishes done, meals made and laundry done. I have been able to bring myself within a week of getting completely ahead at work.
Now that I'm within a week of my goal, I'm setting goals for my personal life. There are projects that I have been procrastinating on and putting things off. We've been in the house a year and most of our awesome basement is still packed with boxes. The back room that up until recently I was using as an office has extra items piled in it.
I found that was one of the reasons I was not concentrating. I was mentally distracted by all the clutter and that the room was very dark. I moved to a brighter room, which I completely cleaned out of almost everything and did a thorough clean. Since, I have been productive at work and able to catch up.
As this is the last week I will be working extra at work, I won't be attempting to accomplish much with the way of housework, except the bare minimum I'm already doing. Friday will be my last day of working overtime. So, Saturday will be my first day of kicking butt and cleaning out, organizing and getting my house in order.
I am going to do one room at a time and will clean and organize it over a 1-3 day period, depending on the size. The last project will be the basement, because it's so big and is not an area of the house that is used a lot. My goal is to have the house and all of the outdoor projects we need to finish before winter done by October 21 because that is when we are having Peanut's first birthday party.
I'm not sure which room I'm going to start with, but I'll post an update once I do.
