JumpyTheFrog Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I've been inspired by Jean in Newcastle and Halcyon to get off the forum and get some stuff done. Who wants to avoid their computer for the next hour and see what they can get done? We can all report back in with what we got done. Hopefully we can each get at least one thing done that we've been procrastinating. Who's in? See you in an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Island Academy Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well, my hour is up! Here is what I managed: straightened/wiped down pantry shelves swept kitchen and under diningroom table took out trash, compost and recycling vacuumed stairs and master bedroom vacuumed entryway runner Whew! Thanks for the kick in the rear. I'm actually energized to get a bit more done today. Off I go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I set the timer for an hour, had the kids watch Whistlefritz, and turned on a podcast. Here's what I got done: -made my bed -started a load of laundry -dish the dishes -did Tuesday's de-cluttering challenge: silverware drawer -I also started cleaning out the pantry. I've been putting off cleaning the stuff on the floor of the pantry for about six months, but it only took about 20 minutes to clean! There was a ton of spilled almonds on the floor, a bunch of coconut flakes, and even a marshmallow. I also found the bag of Real Salt that I couldn't find last week. Finally, I emptied the last of the coconut oil out of a five gallon bucket into a smaller container. I have much more space in the pantry now!

JumpyTheFrog Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Whew! Thanks for the kick in the rear. I did it mainly because I needed my own kicker-in-the-pantser. I thought I'd be more likely to follow through if I roped some others into doing it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassy Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well, it's 8.15 pm here and I've been on the go pretty much non-stop since 7 am. All day, every time I've sat down for 10 mins in front of my computer, someone or something has interrupted me. We've now finished supper and cleared up, DS5 and DS8 are in the bath, DH, DS13 and DS11 are at a concert at the Cathedral, and I'm going to sit here and stare zombie-like at my computer for as long as I like. I'm really going to enjoy reading about how industrious and organised you're all being :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Well, I just spent about 5 hours preparing paperwork for the lawyer who's handling the motion to get Ex to help pay for Dd's college. :glare: Now I get to vacuum the bedroom while the bed is moved out of the way so dh can put it back in place.
