luck 🍀

also, Mission Creep is something I have had to learn to stop

I know the other stuff needs to be done too, I can leave it until my next specific cleaning day, the seagoons will be alright in the meantime, the chore hasn't been forgotten, there is a schedule

having a schedule for each room has really helped me . So now I just say, I know this hall area is a bit of a mess but it can wait until Wednesday, which is laundry and hallway day , eg Today I am just going to do the living and dining room.

I want to have a schedule but life has been chaotic with long work days and other health issues making me exhausted so I am trying to just do one thing every day even if tiny. Otherwise I feel terrible that I have broken the schedule 😔 thanks.

one thing everyday is very good 😊👍

when the young seagoons were here it was chaos and my schedule was in disarray

I learnt that having a schedule previously was really good because it wasn't chaos layered on chaos, it was just normal chaos, it didn't matter that life events took over for a bit

so this is life events, you are doing the important things and coping really well 👍😊😸😻🫂😘

Agreed, I just prioritise rubbish, ~~litter trays~~, dishes, anything that will smell or attract bugs. Those need quicker action than folding or ironing
