Blog Post

Imagine what you could do if you had a legitimate, honest, real answer giving crystal ball?

Well, they do not exist.  And if someone tries to sell you one, hang up, unsubscribe, shut the door.  There are no shortcuts in life.  To attain any goal, you must first set the goal and then work toward it, which means you must have a plan.  

My current goal is to keep a clean house.  What does this mean at my house?  The main floor is ready for company at any time.  (Even though it might be several months from now).  No dishes in the sink, no toys on the floor, blankets folded on the couch, toilet seat down, no piles of mail anywhere, shoes in the mudroom, you get the picture. 

How am I doing moving towards this goal?  Much better than normal.  Why?  I created reminders and tasks to ensure things are picked up every night.  Alexa reminds the kids to pick up their stuff at 7:15pm, I won’t go to bed until the kitchen counter is cleaned, and I’m working VERY hard to not just walk over random items on the floor and put them away on the spot.  If something happens to be left out – I take it and put it in a bag in a closet.  If someone misses it quickly, they can have it with a reminder that if it is left out again, it is gone.  If they never ask about it again, it goes in the donation pile.

Why is my house staying company ready? What is working now that did not work in the past?
