One shitty job a day - mission to get all the crappy tasks done this year

[Shittyyear2025]

I'm an eternal untidy person. I don't see my own clutter. I've tried HARD to find a routine that I can get engaged in, signed up for COUNTLESS get yourself organised apps.

I saw a video yesterday about getting one shitty job a day done. I think I can manage one shitty job a day. So far I cleaned the lounge carpet (over yesterday and today, bad back and heavy furniture) and I've painted a door that's been off it's hinges and propped up against my hall wall for maybe a year.

I reckon one shitty job a day (or for an hour towards it say, after work, longer crap jobs can be done at the weekend) I can do. I can finally finish decorating the kitchen. I can finally finish painting the landing/stairs/hall after the ceiling collapsed in Autumn 2024, I can sort out the front garden one job at a time (hell, I can even get rid of the ironing mountain and charity shop everything I no longer wear for an hour a day).

Anyone want to join me? Or any tips for starting AND STICKING WITH domestic routines?

Jumpers are now away, as are a few other unused sports clothes. Thanks for the inspiration

Finally took some "that'll be useful one day" garments and sold them. Only £100 income but a big bag of space achieved!

Sorry for the delay @CherryRipe1 , yes I do de-list then re-list on Vinted fairly regularly! If an item has got a few favourites I usually reduce the price a bit first and leave it for a couple of days to give the people watching it time to be notified about the reduction in case that pushes them into buying/offering, then I remove and re-list afresh so it goes to the top of the algorithm. I can't bear the thought of underselling something 😀 so I'd rather pitch higher then reduce, then I know the item has found its level.

My mother is a veteran knitter, she started at 11, is now 71. Says she's been avoiding sewing up for 60 years 😀

She has some huge storage units in her spare bedroom with massive wicker-style baskets that pull out full of pieces of knitting - I often tease her that by the time she gets things out and sews them up the item has gone out and come back into fashion three times over 😀 ( <rummages around> "Oh look Mum there's a batwing sleeve here that you knitted in 1984, they're popular again at the moment..."😀)
