The rule of fives

I forgot my rule of  fives. :(

On Monday I did the next things first and I started again doing the next thing first on Tuesday but then...  As I lost my focus I proceeded to 'lose'  most of the week! :(  Five days in fact.  I lost count of what needed doing most.  vbsigh

I may have done five things.  But five cups of coffee, five books, five waits in waiting rooms, five phone calls, five....  well, they weren't productive. I had more than five cups but less than 5 waits.  So my math is bad! ;)

I started out with important and necessary 'first' things and degenerated into not so important.   I could point out that my plans were rearranged every day but still....   I could have linked up things to do and regrouped but I fluffed.  I could wish for consistency but I'd want to qualify that with mindful, purposeful consistency.  I'm going to pick myself up,dust myself off, and start all over again.  Sheesh, I'm sure this is well past the fifth time!  :o
                                       
So next week there will be a PLAN!  Five things!  yup, I'm back to my fives!

I hope to be back on track next week with a high five!  I gotta finish my book first.  I did get five from the library discard pile!  :(  

Sun rise!

Another week has started.  I do appreciate that my week starts with Sunday.  Family day, rest day.

But now it is Monday and I need 5 things to do.

I thought the hallway would offer a bit of respite from deep destashing as it only has one closet.  hmm, I now see that the plastic storage is bulging with stuff also.  :(

But in chatting with DD#1, who is a history/genealogy buff, I thought I might do the trunk under my bed and send on all my genealogy stuff which I will not get around to doing anything with.  I don't need another hobby and she could use another hobby so I'll include a scrap booking magazine!  lol  She has an extra long holiday break and can ooh and ahhh over all these long lost relatives!

That would also be a nice start to the master bedroom which has stuff under the bed, 2 overflowing tall  book cases and stacks of books on both sides of the bed!  vbsigh

The playroom is in reasonable shape so perhaps I can get the table runner and topper quilted before I start splashing and spraying more journal pages.

I need to get the winter backgrounds for December ready for journaling.  I think it'll be a blue Christmas!  lol

And then there is the darn shortbread.  Here is hoping!
