Welcome back to the 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life challenge. (See what the big deal is here, and buy the book to follow along here.)
Today is day 8 – more than a week in!
Your objective is not filling out a fancy paper, but actually following through with your goals.
Yep, that’s pretty much me. I love lists and putting things down on paper. But sometimes, all the satisfaction I get from there is enough that I don’t necessarily follow through. Living it out is actually much more difficult.
But today’s take home message is to write down your goal and put it somewhere you will see it. That’s how you can put it into action.
Assignment 1: Small Habit
My desk is still pretty clear, although there is one bunch of papers I need to handle tomorrow. So mostly done.
Assignment 2: Life Hack
The kitchen is cleaned and wiped! I like that this is becoming a habit here. It’s nice to come to the kitchen and see it’s (pretty) clean.
Assignment 3: Mega-Project
So I know this isn’t really routine-oriented, but I ended up spending about 3 hours (with the kids) cleaning the playroom, weeding out toys, moving the furniture to clean and sort, label, and more. I did also find out that Savta bought each of the kids 7 Hanuka presents, and that’s not even adding in the other grandparents, aunts, uncles, and extended family…This was kind of a preemptive strike for sanity.
Now everyone knows where everything goes (we did an inspection walk and will continue them)…so maybe it does tie in with our routine! Things look nicer here, and that is always a good thing.
How are things going for you?
