Household Hints from Lottie


Household hints:

"Go with this"
"I'm doing this now"
"This is enough - time to quit"

Clean one drawer a day. Empty! Throw away whatever is beyond hope* in the frig - don't wait for the "big clean out"
*you see it

If you open it; close it
If you turn it on; turn it off
If you get it out; put it away.


Do 3 levels of work every day:

(a) Routine (dishes, pick-up, etc.)
(b) Secondary work - vacuum, wash clean frig, pay bills
(c) Progress: Paint, fix something, buy major purchase, project stuff

Always keep a project "in mind" - work on one thing at a time. Finish, clean up, pat yourself on the back and move on.

Letters/Phone calls - do when you think of them - don't stack up & make this a big chore
