And here it is... my home maintenance to-do list for April 2022! With this calendar, I know what to do and when. My headspace is clearer when my physical environment is cleaner! Having a PLAN to achieve your goals will contribute to your success.
I was inspired by Martha Stewart - she has a calendar in every monthly issue of her magazine, "Living". I found myself always drawn to her calendar and would imagine my life like Martha Stewart's. Then I would snap out of my dream and go to work, whatever... Now, finally, in 2022, I've decided to walk the walk and LIVE THE DREAM. I've read Martha's book, "Organizing" and this helped me understand the mechanics of the tasks and provided an example of how beautiful the result can be! Now I can't go hatching chicks (my landlord won't let me have chickens), so certain tasks are modified for my circumstances.
PERSISTENCE is key, and developing self-discipline - particularly in daily habits that support my values and that are action steps towards achieving my goals - is where the the dream will become a reality. Motivation to DO the tasks comes from linking the task to my values and goals and this removes (some of) the drudgery of chores.
Today, I'm air fluffing pillows and comforters in the dryer - and as I lay down tonight in fresh linens, I'll be grateful for the day and dream of tomorrow Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...
