For a person who has all her time to herself, I haven't managed much stitching. I haven't managed much of anything. I haven't been able to get myself into a schedule, even though I am trying to do the Fly Lady thing. So far I've managed 15 minutes in the study. I guess it turns out I don't like cleaning any better now than I did when I was working!
Let's see if I can find some motivation today.
The days that I have the most time to myself (which are few and far between...and even on those days, I don't have the whole day to myself) are the days I manage to get the least amount of things done.
ReplyDeleteI tried Fly Lady a few years back. Made some progress, then failed. But I must have retained some of it because every so often I get the urge to clean and purge and I go gangbusters and make a good dent in things.
Remember, you can do anything for 15 minutes! LOL - except stitch! I had to make To Do lists for myself (yes, more than one, I'm a true SHE), and then force myself to accomplish the items on the list.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with too much time on your hands, and I hope a project will grab your attention soon!
You aren't the only one that doesn't like cleaning much - me neither. But I hate a dirty cluttered house more I guess. But I am stitching at the moment and my excuse is England The EVER Unready has done it again and it has snowed and they have ground to a halt. Not that I work anyway but hey it works for me.

ReplyDeleteA clean house is overrated. I like a squeaky clean toilet and spotless kitchen counters (though not with the same sponge) and I kind of enjoy vacuuming, which is good with our mountains of pet hair; other than that, housework can bite me.
ReplyDeleteFly Lady scared me. Every time I look at my sink now, I feel guilty. I don't need that.
ReplyDeleteBeware the Fly Lady!!
The Fly Lady, well. I also tried her a couple of years ago and she has some neat ideas but somehow I always get behind very quickly because there are so many more important things than cleaning, lol.
ReplyDeleteI hate cleaning. Always have, always will. Things just get dirty again anyway!
ReplyDeleteStitching is much more fun!
Lately one of my most productive days happened when I worked for 15 minutes, then gave myself a 15 minute reward - stitching, computer time, whatever. Set the timer tho and make it a game.
ReplyDeleteFull disclosure - it's not a game I play often enough. :D
