Weekend Goals and Long Term Lists
The weekend is almost here! I find I'm the most productive on the weekend when I set a few obtainable goals. I usually keep a list of "around the house" goals on the fridge. I don't get them all done at once, but if I have some time on the weekend, I can look at the list and go, "what can I accomplish today?" Then, when it's done, and I can mark it off my list. Man, marking through a done task feels so good!
So, this weekend's list:
1. Get unpacked from last week's trip and put suitcases away. (I had three suitcases for my trip and I'm down to one).
2. Finish laundry. I'm making great progress here too. I've all ready dropped off and picked up the dry clean items.
3. Costume inventory and put away. I costume/cosplay for a hobby and I just got back from DragonCon. I've been working on inventory lists for my costumes. I like to put them away clean and with all parts in boxes together. I like to box them with an inventory list as well.
4. Put away and inventory bathroom items bags. I like to have my "overnight" bag ready to go. This includes items like a day or two of medication, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc...the essentials. Thay way if I have to take a trip in a hurry, I'm ready.
5. Tidy the house. House just needs a reset. A key to good organizing is maintaining as you go. Let me tell you, as six year old can make a mess quick. Well, a 38 or 39 year old can make a big mess too.
6. Update the fridge "to do" list. Since I brought this up, I think I'll update it. This helps me plan my weekends ahead.
That is all, that is enough. Don't make your lists too big or you set yourself up for disappointment. If you don't get it all done that is fine. Do what you can, and keep the list on the fridge for later.
So what are your goals this weekend? Don't forget to make time for family and fun too!
