Really? One Year to an Organized Work Life Filled with Hapiness?: Five week months

Five week months

Because there are five weeks in January, I do not have to work on any new skill or analyze a new aspect of my life. I will spend this week practicing the use of my calendar and tickler file and doing what needs to be done most first, whether I like it or not. I'm good with the calendar, but need some help with the tickler file. I must admit that the tickler file makes me feel like the ocean of tasks can be accomplished. If I had a large steno pad by my phone it might help me as well. That way I wouldn't be tempted to take notes on little pieces of paper that are destined to be lost in the shuffle. (Not that that's ever happened to me!)

February's focus is reclaiming the work place. I couldn't help but peek ahead. February just might make me sweat! Stay tuned.

Home Habit of the Month

Month 3: Get rid of and file all mail and incoming paper from school, work, and play as soon as it comes in. (Touch it once!)

Accomplished on: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

This includes reading newspapers and recycling right away and cutting coupons and recycling the remaining paper right away. There are two visual measures to this success in my house.

1. Dining room table free of clutter

2. Kitchen counter free of clutter

On May 1 the dining room table is pristine. The small kitchen counter has a to do pile, which I'll put in a folder so it isn't as noticeable. That way I will have a visual reminder. Is the small counter clear? Yes. Good. No? Take care of it every day!
