What happened to weeks 2, 3, 4 and 5? I had done week 2, but maybe not shared it.
There's more to each chapter than the bald suggestion; I find KDs additional ideas, suggestions on how to implement it, explanations and prompts very helpful.
Unsubscribe as you go - in other words, unsubscribe from newsletter type emails you are no longer interested in receiving as they come into your inbox. You know the sort of thing; 'subscribe to get 10% off'. Then it's everlasting special offers...
But as for weeks 3, 4 and 5...
'Write it down'; choose a single place for lists and things you want to remember - note book or phone app or whatever and stick to it.
'One task at a time'; quit multitasking - it isn't actually more efficient most of the time.
'Mute the background'; either you're watching it, or listening to it, ot you're not. Even if you think it's just in the background, the sounds/music/changes still grab our attention.
So I'm trying to catch up on these. Either I'm watching a programme or listening to sonething, or I switch it off (unless someone else wants to watch of). No more scrolling or reading or playing games at the same time. (The exceptions are straightforward knitting and simple sewing)
This week it is
'Declutter one surface that you see or use every day and commit to keepingit that way'. Was she reading my mind? I was getting close to The End Of My Tether because of four surfaces in particular.
The dining room table (perennial one, this). The last time I cleared it in a hurry, I should add, I did so by piling everything up on my worktable. So now neither were usable. The same could be said of my swivel table and footstool.
I'm now relaxing, with a pot of tea, in a glow of satisfaction and calm having cleated All Four Surfaces. I'm officially an over-achiever! It didn't take long. So why did I avoid doing it before, and will I be able to keep them clear (shaking my head)
These are the 'after' pictures.
