I know I said I was setting the bar low for 2021, but I’ve not even really managed that, LOL.
I’m tired, overwhelmed and not as functional as I could be, but I’ve at least gotten this far into 2021 and not gotten Covid, so that’s a win.
My dumb ass decided to add all the preconfigured tasks Tody has into my to-do list and even in “super relaxed” time interval mode, it became totally overwhelming almost immediately.
So, it’s time to go back to super duper basics and bare minimums – FlyLady zones and just do a little every day in the zones, break things down to the smallest bits, and not stress too hard about it.
But, I also need a few concrete goals – house, financial, health – and we’ve got some perfect milestones coming up to measure that aren’t too far away and aren’t too close – Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
| Milestone/Area | House | Finances | Health | Mental Health |
| Halloween | Carport/porch tidied well for Trick or Treaters | Yoga at least 2x a week | Keep stitching/quilting to spend time off Twitter*, and spend more time reading before bed | |
| Thanksgiving | Kitchen not just clean, but decluttered and organized | Yoga at least 3x a week | Finish Quilt, keep reading | |
| Christmas | Living room all nice for Christmas | 10K in the bank, Care Credit paid off (currently $2789) | Yoga at least 4x a week | Stitching and reading |
My weekend to do list is small and reasonable, and mostly small personal care things, but if I can knock it all out by bedtime tomorrow, I will be a happy camper.
Here’s to saying it out loud and creating some accountability for myself.
*I love Twitter, but I doomscroll and that’s not good.
