Reboot!

It’s time to get restarted here.  I’ve been participating in NaBloPoMo on my personal blog, but I’m finding it’s keeping me from not only updating here, but from actually doing the things around the house that need doing.  So, here I am once again.

I want to follow FlyLady‘s monthly zone schedule, concentrating on different areas of the home each week.  I think this is a great way to get something done throughout the house, as opposed to spending all the time in one room until it’s finished. At least it works for me.  (I hope.)  A lot of times I find if I spend too many days working on one thing, I become tired and bored with it.  Worse, my brain kind of shuts down and I can’t make the decisions I need to;  such as what to do with this piece of paper, do I want to keep this magazine, where do I put this item.

This week the zone is the bathroom and one other room.  Right now I’m concentrating on the room that has my computer.  I call it a den, but it’s really a second bedroom, and I do use it for guests.  Well, I’ve used it for guests when I could get to the sofa.  Right now it’s covered with papers that need filing, pictures that need sorting, tools that need to find a place to live.

So, the goal for tonight is to straighten up the bookcase (it’s not too messy) and clear off the space around the computer.  That’s a space that’s about as hard to keep clean as the kitchen.  It requires constant vigilence.  Guess it’s just a habit I’ll have to develop.
