Self Care Monday-One thing

I'm really good at this concept for the first couple days. Then I forget, misplace my list, am too tired...etc., etc., etc.

But this is the Do One Thing per day concept I try to live by. Instead of cleaning the whole house in a day (do people really do this?!)  Take one thing and do it. Oh, that recycling is piling up. Take it out. Then check it off your list, real or imaginary!

Oh, the laundry. Yes, the laundry. Always the laundry! But doing a load a day instead of all at once has really saved my sanity. Towels, sheets, clothes, all separate and on separate days. Plus then it doesn't pile up (as much!) as if I do them all on the same day.

It goes for my writing life, too. Today is writing a single chapter or editing one. Tomorrow is to make sure I have posts for the week. The next day is back to writing. Doing it all in the same day always takes longer than I think it will and then I run out of time and patience with myself and more importantly, energy.
