I'm terribly lazy. I really am. So, now that DS is napping for anything between an hour to two hours, I have made the executive decision to get organised and get into routines that mean I have less to do, but more often IYSWIM; for example, laying the washing away as soon as it is dry when hanging up inside so that the hell hole dining room is presentable for guests.
To this end, I have been surfing the Flylady site for hints and tips. One of the best tips for me (as it involved lists, stationery and organisation) was to write routines down.
Now, I'm not talking about routines in terms of
- go into cupboard
- get out cleaning stuff
- get out cloths
- spray cleaner onto cloths etc etc etc
But a reminder to myself of what needs doing in each room, such as
- Dust (remember to do pictures)
- Hoover (don't forget that bit behind the door) etc
And also noting down bits that I always forget to do - such as the top of the standard lamp shade (one of these bowl things that dust accumulates in so that when you turn the lamp on, it smells all burnt).
Husband came home last night to find me adding bits to said list, and started to kill himself laughing at this.
Am I being daft trying to do this with lists? Does anyone else do this at all, or am I really weird?
