Waited to the last minute again!!!

So you waited til the last minute to get what you needed to get done done. I know that feeling all to well. However I have a thought.. If you regulary practice the last minute stuff then your always prepared for any emergency.. so I look at my laziness as just practicing for when i need it.

I figured this meathod of thought out when i was packing for a trip after i got home from work in 15 minutes. did i foget anything. Not one item. Why because every trip i wait till the last minute AGAIN!  thus this makes packing simple for me as i can pack for a week trip in 15-20 minutes.

So that's your chuckle for today!

So the house was finished cleaning on friday. it's spotless for the most part. I have kept up with it as well over the weekend.
meaning doing things right then and there. Gosh that is so hard to do..
After you eat wash the dish or place it in the dishwasher (i can normally do this but what do you do when your dishwasher is full and it's running. do you still leave them in the sink or do you force yourself to wash them by hand?) I normally leave them in the sink and that in turn builds up bad habits of leaving them in the sink. It was suggestioned once to a box or bin under the sink for the dirty dishes. I have yet to try that and frankly don't like that idea much. I need to build the habit of taking care of the dishes right then and there.

So each day / week i'll add one item to my daily todo list for myself.
since i dont have a list started yet i'm going to start with listing 3 items that i want to ensure is done daily. These item shouldn't take more then 15 minutes at it's worse for it to be added to the list. In my eyes if it takes you more then 15 mintues tha'ts a project not a task.. Thus you can break that longer task down into smaller steps and make those the tasks inplace of doing it all.
Example: clean garage is more then 15 minutes. so instead of cleaning the garage i can list a shorter task. Remove surface trash from garage. each day add a task that is in the garage this would change up unless you have a lot of trash. the key here is only 15 minutes more so if your a clutter bugger.

Back to my list. Here is mine feel free to copy or create your own that will suit your need. I am also writing down why i want this done daily you know to help me find motivation when i really need it.

1.  Empty litter box - I want to do this daily because the litter box is a pain to clean up when it's gone to far, it's stinky, my husband can't handle the smell, my kitties love it when i clean it for them, it's super quick when i do this daily right before work!
2. Dishes  out of sink - it really does give you a sence of clean when nothing sits in the sink.. i would of never agreed to that but after i done it a few times i can finally concur.  I love the way it smells and i can tell when the kitties play where they are not suppose to. hard part is when dishwasher is full at that point wash by hand unless it's a lot of dishes if that's the case rinse them and get them ready to go in dish washer by placing them on counter top. I'm doing this so i can cook more. If the kitchen is clean i normaly want and enjoy the cooking.
3. Sweep one room in the house daily. - I have 3 pets all have fur that ends up EVERYWHERE. so this might help me stay on top of the dust balls that roll across the floor, It's nice to walk around on my floors in socks not covered in pet hair.

so that is my list. Some people like to make charts that say mondays' floors tuesdays bathroom and so forth so they are not overwhelmed on one day.
I never truely tried that but who knows maybe by next post i'll have something along those lines.
