Progress so far this week…
Just wanted to touch base with how the days been so far so I’d have a record of it later.
Progress over past weeks:
- I washed Saturday’s dishes this evening instead of letting them pile up all week in the sink.
- I took two bags of trash and put them in the cans out back immediately instead of letting them pile up in the kitchen, or in front of the door. A little baby step “now habit” forming here. Went and purchased new kitchen trash bags, as I was out.
- My apartment is pretty much not trashed, and it didn’t take hours of cleaning to make it this way. With the exception of a couple of “hot spots”, the place is pretty presentable. I can focus on getting some lines memorized in the hour or so I have before my duet partner shows up to rehearse instead of worrying about having to clean the place up so I won’t be embarassed.
- I spent an hour and forty five minutes today clearing the detritus from my Downloads/Desktops to be sorted folders and made a really good dent in them. It’s really been pissing me off that I’ve not had those cleared by now and I put that energy into making them dissappear. There is something about the “clear cut” aspect of this goal that makes it much easier for me to dig into, as opposed to the rest of my projects. I think that this probably means I need to get really specific and “nitty gritty” clear about the rest of the goals in my life, so that there’s no blurriness. Maybe that will make those other areas that I’ve been putting off easier to go after.
It really may seem like these are baby steps, or things that most people do easily. I just need to remember I’m on my own journey here, and to not judge my progress against the progress of others.
