get organised

I am loving flylady’s christmas videos. I have all my wrapping stuff and cards in a basket and all my decorations in a suitcase ready. I have bought 4 people’s presents so far and am on budget too. Last year I spent Christmas eve in Halfords buying presents (NOT FUN).

It works – I don’t care what anyone says about flylady = religious, cultlike it is all true but it works so I don’t care. I am happy so thank you flylady

I am doing this but the progress is slow. I first focused on money and writing a budget that would work, I tweaked it, lived with it tweaked it again and now it seems to work. Then I moved on to the housework and have developed some good routines, washing up, laundry, cleaning and decluttering is now done daily. But I am so ambitious – I want everything to be perfect now!

I want to work on my appearance, I am a scruff bag and don’t look after my appearance very well at all – I know I could do better. I also want to write more and grow more veg but how many things can you fit in? I think I may be aiming too high, I have trouble finishing my book group book and I want to be in better contact with my far away friends which means writing, emailing or ringing them.

I am scared of trying to fit too much into my daily routine and then failing.

I have been really working on this in the past year. Am beginning to see patterns that work for me but I am not born organised. Am still procrastinating and working too much. (Do those two even go together?)
