I’m FLYing baby!!!

Since I have NO computer I don’t have other thing to do than cleaning my house. ROFLOL. My house is looking pretty decent after a whole week of cleaning. Who would have said it? ‘hah! Remember my old chore list? It’s all done now… well, except for the vacuuming and mopping thing. It will be done today. *wink* I promise!

Here’s what I’ve been doing all this week:

  • Shine my sink. I’ve done it everyday AM & PM …Just like FlyLady say it most be done. *smile*
  • Clean both bathrooms. [08-05-05]
  • Declutter the dining room. [08-06-05]
  • Declutter the kitchen countertops. [08-06-05]
  • Declutter under the kitchen counter. [08-06-05]
  • 60 minutes decluttering session in one of my “disaster zones
  • Do my laundry… Including putting it away after it’s done. I did it both on Saturday and Tuesday. No more clothing sitting in the basket for few days!!! I finally got the hang of it. Wooohooo!!!
  • Declutter my spare room… We started piling things up in that room about two years ago SO it had A LOT of junk… I took it one day at the time AND I used a timer just like FlyLady say it most be done… I emptied it in just three days. Now I’m in the process to transform it into a Home Gym. Isn’t it neat?
  • Declutter and clean my home office. That’s in progress. I’m taking it one day at the time ’cause I can’t go all crazy throwing out stuff and important papers. *sight* …Few summers ago I went crazy throwing out everything I piled up in my home office during the school year (I was teaching Spanish at that time) …and I threw away passport accidentaly… It was in a Manila envelope I took with me when I got my Senior Class students to their senior’s trip.
  • After I’m done with cleaning and decluttering my home office, I’m going to remodel it.

After all… having my computer crashed wasn’t a real bad thing after all. Right?

Anti-Procrastination

Instead of been doing my house chores I’ve been on the internet the last 75 minutes… Guess I am not finishing my Anti-Procrastination Day Chore List. I better try harder to finish something ’cause DH will be here in an hour!!! …It IS official I’m not going to church ’cause I MOST clean now. See you tomorrow!!!

pro.cas.tri.nat.ion

FlyLady
pro.cras.ti.nate (transitive and intransitive verb)

postpone doing something: to postpone doing something, especially as a regular practice
[Late 16th century. procrastinat-, past participle of procrastinare “put off until tomorrow” cras- “tomorrow”]

I’ve been putting things off until “I want” for a long time. SO now my house is a big mess!!! Maybe you already know how BAD things can get when you put things for some other day… And that day never comes.

While I was reviewing my yahoo mail this morning I read a FlyLady’s email telling me that today was my Anti-Procrastination Day. SO I planned on cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. It’s 1:30 pm and I haven’t done ANYTHING to this house… What the hell is wrong with me? Am I too smart to do a simple thing as cleaning a house?! DH is coming back in four hour SO I’m going to start cleaning now (the hottest time on the day) and I’m going to do as much as I can… No more TV or PC for me until I get this house at a “decent” state.

To be accountable to somebody, I’m posting my chore list. I MOST “draw” a line over each item after I finish it. If I finish on time, I’m allowed to go to church tonight… Yes that’s a treat for me. If I don’t finish I am not allowed to leave my house under ANY concept or circumstance.

Today’s Chore List:

  • Shine my sink.
  • Clean both bathrooms.
  • Declutter the dining room.
  • Declutter the kitchen countertop.
  • Declutter under the kitchen counter.
  • Vacuum and mop the whole house.
  • Cook a healthy dinner for Dear Husband.

I am not behind! I am not going to try to catch up; I’m just going to jump in where FlyBabbies are and do my thing. Right?
