Seinfeld Chains - July

[mschrisgo2]

I thought sure we had a July thread going, but I can't find it, so here's another.

I kept up my 3 chains- 10 min keeping kitchen clean, 10 min on a special project, 10 min on paper- until I went on vacation earlier this month. Since I've been back, I have only kept up the kitchen chain. Loving that, it's so nice to go into a clean kitchen!

However, I need to get back to the others. I made great progress on the paper, but I discovered another box full today- ARG! And I have many small projects still to address this summer. So, I'm making a commitment to get started again tomorrow. Anyone want to join me?

Good job!

I really need to be working my chain, but it's fair week and everything is just chaos. Apparently I needed one more challenge though, because yesterday my car died. Right now I'm coffee loading so I can do chores, move everything from the towed home car to the farm truck, and go to fair. Because today is one of the two days I volunteered to help all day - of course.

I could pick at the basement instead of being on-line while I drink the coffee, but the young man who drove two hours to rescue me and my stranded car yesterday is still asleep down there. He was processing green beans when i went to bed last night. Seems ungrateful.

But keep at it! I'll be back soon!

I am back and would like to start this chain again

1.---30 min first think on getting up dress/hygiene/bed made/quick pick up of house/breakfast/coffee
2.---30 min of decluttering in house and or garage
3.---30 min of posting for sale items
4.---30 min of exercise
5.---30 min of gardening/yard work
6.---30 min of house cleaning
7.---30 min of finances and decluttering computer/pictures

I know this seems like a lot but really it makes my life my work and what is more important................
I will see how many I can keep up with.....this is 3 1/2 hours but, there are 24 hours in a day and I am frittering away far too many of them.
So far today I have done #1 and #7 now I am off to do more.....talk to you later.

July 24th @ 11:00 p.m.
Done #!, #2 (sorted a couple of garage boxes) #3 (posted 7 items on a new local Facebook Group already had one response)
#4 Yes did 15 min of streches and 15 min of dance) #5 30 min turned into 45 min and it is surprising how much gets done in 45 min.
$6 did 30 min but at this point that is dishwasher/dusting/bathroom/tidying not any deep cleaning but the house does look nice and fresh.
#7 cleaned out emails and moved many to a new folder. Finance updated my monthly spreadsheets as they had got behind while I was
away so much.
This is a wonderful way to keep oneself accountable......I will try again tomorrow....today has felt very productive.

July 25 @10:40
Done #1.....the idea of this one is to get up and do this list in the first 30 min the whole day is better after that
#2.....sorted several shelves in pantry and put 6 jars to recycling and 4 containers to Charity box
#3....answered a couple of inquires but did not post need to catch up on that tomorrow.
#4....done #5 not done because it was hot in the morning and I yardsaled and then it rained in the afternoon
#6....caught up on all my wash from being away but, that was it
#7...did books and bank deposit for club and caught up on monthly spreadsheets

Not all links today but still a very productive day....that yardsaling got in the way...lol will try again tomorrow

24th and 25th, did my kitchen, 10 minutes on paper, and 2 "special projects": a kitchen cupboard one day- really, why do I have to move things out of that cupboard every time to get to what I want?! and ended up putting 3 things in the box for the thrift store. Today, I pulled everything out of the lower bathroom cupboard. The things I use are in a plastic shoe box, that I pull out every morning...but what in the world is all that other stuff?! FILLED a trash bag! YAY!!

mschrisgo2 glad to hear how well you are doing....this thread is really motivating me....even if I can't get it all done every day.

Jul26
#1 done, #2, #5 & #6 worked for 1 1/2 hours in the garage and on the front steps decluttering, cleaning and planting a new flower box also, set up new hose in garage
#3 did not get done at all #4 did not get done either and neither did #7
I think this tells me these are a little ambitious on a day when I volunteered for 3 hours. But, better then if I had just done nothing.

You guys are doing a great job!

danna, you have a lot of chains!

I worked in the basement yesterday.

July 27
Did not do #2, #3, #5 or #7 way too hot to garden not sure why I didn't do the others.
But, I did to 1 1/2 hour of house cleaning....vacuumed the whole house and cleaned the main entrance....amazing how dirty a 8' by 5' space and get
over the winter. Wash the blinds, baseboards, cleaned out he bench and washed the floors....looks really nice.

Chicken lady I am trying to do so many because life has got way ahead of me over the spring and it is driving me crazy.

Kitchen, paper, special projects done Sunday and Monday. Started on closet as special project, only doing a section at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. So far, so good.

All chains done. For my special project today, I made a stack and list of things to take to Circulation Day. It's 3 weeks away, and I'm sure I will find more things by then.

I am having a hard doing or wanting to do #3 and #7 so I am going to change my list of links staring Aug. 02 see you later.
I can't believe how motivated this is keeping me.....even if I miss some links I am getting so much done!!!
