January 1st is an excellent time to take stock of what needs to change for positive growth. Life’s rough enough without creating additional problems. Just opening my calendar app makes my stomach clench and causes my eye to start twitching -truly an attractive quirk. Is my calendar that jam packed? Well, no it’s just significantly more than I am used managing. To get through the next six months I must practice discipline.
*No! This is a family oriented site, put that away.*
Is it fun?
Nope.
However, the results are much more exciting than the alternative. One of my goals for January is to get my butt out of bed on time. I’ve slipped into a bad habit of waiting until I hear the kids stirring. Even if I took weekends off, I still lose more than 20 hours of guilt and interruption free time.
My second goal for January is to quit abandoning small tasks before they are done. I’ve become a master avoider, this quickly leads to piles of laundry and unwashed dishes. These two chores alone create a cascade of guilt and avoidance that ooze into every corner of my home. So my plan is to quit leaving dishes in the sink and fold (and put away) all the laundry. Neither of these chores are hard,they’re just repetitive in a busy home.
What areas of your life lack discipline? No, the kids don’t count.
I posted all my goals on my blog. Today, after my dentist appointment, I will focus on getting my closet back in order. I have no clue what I own or what's clean at this point, because it's all on the floor. I can only find 2 pairs of shoes at this point. After that, I will remove all clothing I have not worn in a year and put it in a box to go to the church's big bazaar in July. I figure if I go room by room I'll get cleaning done faster.
