Its been 10 Days since my last post "When Today Was a Waste Tomorrow's Got to Be Better!!" Yes, the next day was definitely better but what was even better was the whole 10 Days ! So what made the difference : Well, getting up just half an hour earlier left me with a lot more time to get more things done and then devoting a good amount to myself as well !!
But there was 1 paper that changed everything ! It is this very same paper that hangs right up on the wall above my kitchen sink. This is what it says:
2: Cleaned the Sink ?
3: Cleaned the Platform & the Cooking Hob ?
4: Mopped the Kitchen Floor ?
5: Binned the Garbage ?
6: Put the clothes on the Clothes Dryer ?
7: Put away the utensils in the Right Place ?
No ?? Then Tomorrow is going to be a
Now, whenever either of us thinks of going off to bed without even one of these things getting done, we know what that is going to lead to. :)
So yep, sometimes instead of relying on your body to signal you to do things, you are better off putting PEN to PAPER and sticking up that CHECKLIST right where you can see it !! This trick really really works !! Now both ABHI and me have got into a habit of following this routine ! And I am sure it's here to stay !
Have something similar to share ? Leave me a comment on how you manage to get organized and shed away that laziness :)

Wow ! you've sure started to think a lot ... I never even tried to get there.... Organized? Whats that?
ReplyDeleteGetting organized is step 1. And keeping yourself organized all the time is the next step!! And its such a nice idea to remind yourself that you need to complete ceratin tasks on time, else the next day goes for a toss!! :)
ReplyDeleteI believe that to keep things going the way you want, you need to let a day go completely waste. Enjoy that day doing your favorite activity & dont let daily chores worry you that day. So that the next day you have pumped into yourself the energy to keep going for the next couple of days! A need to re-charge yourself :)
