Looks like great planning! @sweetpumkinpye

This week is M-W work for DS18, eve school on campus class for DS, I have a dentist cleaning and walk on friend's farm, crochet with friends, and board game time with another friend. Your list helps me think about doing better at face washing/moisturizing, Christmas crochet gift planner sheet, and chores.

I'm starting on a third self-paced course. I was planning on two only but I do have a bit of time before the university class starts in mid-March. I feel like doing these courses is helping me to figure out how to deal with juggling everything here. I'm more focused on necessities and "Releasing" that which isn't helping me.

Priority
  • Word of Year: Release
  • Stretches/Cardio
  • Journal
  • The Artist’s Way - Week 8
  • Homework
Secondary
  • Pay bills:
  • Correspondence: Family History group;
  • Appts: Monday - Late Pick Up; Wednesday - 8 pm Meeting; Thursday - Dentist; Friday-Late Pick Up
  • Menu Planning
  • Weekly Cleaning: Vacuum, Dust, Mop, Empty trash cans, Bathrooms
  • Monthly Cleaning: Laundry/Mudroom
  • Declutter
    • guest office space
    • Office
  • Creativity: Pick one project to do

That seems like a busy week to me.

Yes, I had to add personal care on my to do list or else I did not do it. I am better at this now but some days are hit and miss. I also had soooo many products that I am trying to get through them.

I'm currently working on this at our house. We have so many bits and pieces of tubes or bottles of lotion, shampoo, personal care products. I told DH, no buying anything more until it's gone...getting rid of clutter!

missjane. Same here. I buy things plus I get items as gifts for Christmas etc. I go through phases where I don't use things for a while but I have been pretty good lately.

I literally spend all of my free time doing family history. I absolutely love it! One of the things that I've wanted to do for years but knew that I wouldn't be able to do it with my schedule is take courses to strengthen what I know. My schedule is looking different these days so I enrolled for some classes. :)

I dabble in my family history, I get obsessed with it for a while and then put it away for a while and then pull it out again. Might be my winter project.
