There never seems to be enough time to get everything done that you want done...because of this I guess you just have to let some things go?
I have tried to incorporate some things into my day that help me to multi-task to try and get more into my day. I started a few months ago doing what I call - "Take 5". When I say "Take 5" everyone has to stop whatever they are doing and take 5 minutes to do some type of cleaning. You have to spend the entire 5 minutes doing something. This seems to help, but if I try and do it too many times in a day I get plenty of grumbles...lol.
I also recently started to make myself pick something up when I left one room to go to another. I don't know about you but I constantly have things in one room that need to go back to another room. IE: Quilting Magazines in my bedroom that need to go back to my studio. That potholder that somehow ended up on my computer desk - how did that get there anyways?
I don't like to spend my entire time off cleaning and sometimes it seems like you could do just that, if you let it suck up your life. I think I would rather be known as a little bit messy and have some time to myself to enjoy things...what about you?
I think that next year is going to be a big changing period in my life because I suspect both of my boys will be going off on their own and that will leave me with no one to blame the messes on but myself. I am pretty sure that things will be much more orderly but then I wonder if I am going to miss the grumbling about getting your clothes to the laundry room, or leaving that glass on the coffee table. Not to mention the quiet...
I would love to hear how you manage to squeeze more into your day, or even how you have decided to let things go...
Today while I let things go I will be finishing up my Summer Sampler Quilt - all that's left is the binding, putting my customers Memory Quilt in the Longarm to quilt, working on a beautiful New York Beauty pattern that I haven't shown yet (its a surprise!) and hanging my Knotty Thoughts quilt up in the living room now that the Horny Toad has been applied to it. :) What are you working on?
Happy Weekend Everyone!
