When that one started to feel natural and within my control, I added another. The house was a disaster and there were SO MANY things that needed to be done, I had to focus on one to keep from getting overwhelmed. For example, if you would like to maintain your body weight, ind your weight range in column 2 and use the recommended calorie level in column 1. When I began this journey, I only focused on one thing. Start by selecting your calorie level based on the below chart. I’m linking to both, but if I were to give advice (if you read regularly you know I try to avoid giving advice), I would tell you to print the one with all the blanks. But I know that since I’m all about excuses, having one to print out “just for now” would help me, since waiting-until-I-have-the-time-to-do-it-right is often one of my downfalls. They are just tables I made in Google Docs. Mine that I currently use, and one that has only a few things on it, and mostly blank spaces. I’m linking to two versions of my checklist. For me, it’s a way to train myself to see clutter before it gets out of hand. I also have “check bathrooms for clutter.” For someone who naturally puts clothes in the hamper and hairbrushes back in the drawer, this probably seems strange. It’s my problem, so I needed it on the list. I doubt this is a universal-slob-problem. I mean that many of the things on it are my own personal issues.įor example, I have “close cabinet doors” on the list. The reason is that it’s MY daily checklist. I’ve been a little hesitant to do this in the past. So, I’m sharing my checklist in printable form. If I get through them all, the house looks better, I feel better, and I have hope to keep working on this process. If I find that things are slipping, if I start to feel out of control, I can grab my checklist and physically mark it off as I do my tasks. ![]() I can’t count the number of times in my life that I’ve madly cleaned before a party, loved the way my home looked, told myself “I should really keep it this way,” and then looked up three weeks later to suddenly see the huge mess back again. It just never occurred to me to do it before it got to the point where an entire day of work was needed just to make a dent. It wasn’t that I didn’t know what needed to be done. It’s a chart of the things that seem effortless to normal people, but somehow baffled me. In the deslobification process I’ve been going through this past year, it’s been my very best friend.īasically, it’s a list of the habits I’ve been working to develop in an effort to transform my home. ![]()
