Another day, another challenge...

Today we'll start getting into actually doing something! Here's my challenge for myself and for you if you choose to accept it. This is one of the things I picked up from Flylady that really DOES work for me, it's just a matter of doing it. Before you sit down to relax, scrap, watch tv or whatever, set a timer for 15 minutes. Pick ONE room in the house and clean as much as you can in those 15 minutes. When the timer goes off, be satisfied with what you got done and don't obsess over what you still have to do. If you're feeling really motivated, set the timer for 30 minutes (AFTER the 15) and relax. After those 30 minutes, clean for 15 minutes again. It's truly amazing what you can get done in such a short time if you focus on what you are doing!

For today's layout, take a before and after picture in the room you choose to work on. For the journaling, type how you felt looking at the room before, and how you feel now that you've accomplished something. This will be a reminder in the future that 15 minutes CAN make a difference!
