as small as a world and as large as alone

Have you heard of Fly Lady? Her website is good. All about one room at a time and specific days for specific tasks so you aren’t doing it all at once.

FlyLady actually pisses me off a bit. I took a bunch of her ideas and adapted them to work for me, so that part is good, but her overall attitude is not so hot and the purple puddles make me want to slap her. I figure desiring to do violence to someone is probably a good reason to stay away.

I like UfYH and have incorporated some of that into my stuff as well. I have a pretty good list of what to do when at this point. It could probably stand some tweaking, but for now it’s good enough.

I think I’m going to just start by cutting reading out of my morning activities. I’ll find somewhere else to put it that it won’t impact the rest of my day so much. Maybe in the evening we can stop watching shows earlier and read for an hour or two before bed. (He reads as well, so I doubt he’d complain.)

I will begin with that this week (Tuesday, as Monday is a holiday so nothing goes normally) and try it for a couple of weeks and see if it helps. It may be the solution, it may not. But I need to do something. :P

WTF is a purple puddle?  I tried to google it but got nowhere.
