July is going very quickly, welcome to the third week of what has been a very cold month for us. Looking at the forecast for this week there will be more rain, below freezing nights and the days are very cold. A cold Winter that is for sure.
I am planning my week but know this could all change, work is a bit unpredictable this week has CW mother has passed away. Also time for me to reevaluate what is and isn't working to avoid that mid year rut that gets to me most years. Hoping for a productive week.
Daily:
Moisturise morning,
Water throughout day,
Shower/bath at night,
Moisturise,
Brush teeth,
Lip balm,
Hand cream,
Clean kitchen and DW on before bed.
Read and sleep at reasonable time.
This is working for me so will continue with very little tweaking. I might start setting an alarm for getting ready for bed/lights out.
Weekly:
*make work lunches for Monday (X) Tuesday (X)
*washing ( )( )
*fold washing (X)
*vacuum floors ( )
*mop floors ( )
*clean bathrooms ( )( )
*meal plan dinners plus work lunches ( )
*clean fridge ( )
*tidy pantry ( )
*tidy freezer ( )
*tidy stockpile ( )
*shopping list (fortnightly) ( ) grocery shopping (fortnightly) ( )
This is the routine for me now. Some weeks it all gets done, some weeks not. Do not need to swap anything here.
Fun/ Christmas prep:
*start/continue/finish one craft project (X) Continue wedding bunting
*start/continue/finish one book/magazine ( ) Goal for the year is to read 10, I have read 13
*update planner ( )
*tidy gift closet ( )
*continue looking for stocking fillers and gifts ( )
*start looking at HGP ( )
Once again these are things I get to most weeks, at least I try to.
Extras:
*Exercise at least 4 days (X) (X) (X) ( )
*Make up trial for DD Sunday (X)
*Library books back Thursday ( )
*Craft with Mum Thursday (X) start assembling Bunting
*Start looking for meal ideas for Spring and Summer ( )
ETA: Now working Wednesday and Friday as CW is away. (X) (X)
These change week by week. Some weeks are busier than others but that's life.
5 small chores:
1) Wash bedroom windows ( )
2) Tidy bedside tables and chest of drawers ( )
3) Tidy wardrobe ( )
4) Vacuum skirtings ( )
5) Look for "Spring" picture to frame ( )
6) Tidy gift closet ( ) A CIJ project
I am amazed how much doing 5 or 6 quick chores a week makes such a difference to the running of the house. Will absolutely continue this for the rest of the year and into 2022.
