    Done? Done! 4 months ago

    I think I’ve reached the limits of this new habit.
    Do I do it 100% of the time? No!
    But I start every single day with the intention to do it, and that’s the main thing for me!
    There are many things I refuse to do in a compulsive way, to just do it. This is one of them.

    I’ve also made some discoveries: It helps to soak clean pots and pans and oven dishes asap and wash them within half an hour. It helps to wash and put away dishes several times throughout the day, so that I’m not left with an enormous pile at the end of the day.

    I have made significant progress with this one, but I don’t think I’ll ever reach perfection.



    It drives me crazy 4 months ago

    ...when I leave the kitchen tidy and shiny when I go to bed, only to find it messy in the morning.
    But it happens.
    Hubby sometimes eats very late at night, then he takes the dishes back to the kitchen and leaves them there.
    Which is much more than the vast majority of Greek men would do. But no Greek man will do the dishes; it would be an insult to his virility

    I just need to stop assuming that things will be the way I expect them to be.



    How abiut almost every night? 4 months ago

    Perhaps striving to do something 100% of the time isn’t what I need. There are nights when I’m just too exhausted.

    Pehaps I need to work on not wearing myself out so much during the day… ???



    Last night... 4 months ago

    I conveniently forgot to do it, and as I walked into the kitchen this morning I felt as if someone slapped me in the face when I saw the mess.
    Hmmm… it looks as if this is really turning into habit material…



    I'm slowly beginning... 4 months ago

    to appreciate this.
    It gives me the opportunity to bring closure to my day.



    This is... 5 months ago

    yet another thing that I tend to do on an on/off basis.
    To turn it into a REAL habit, I will do it every night (OK – most nights) in July.
    So far so good.
    (Although I hate the process of doing the dishes at night, I just LOVE to see things clean and shiny in the early morning!!!)
