My goals for the weekend are the same every time. I always plan to do cleaning and laundry, to go shopping, and to make sure the children get fed. That’s all.
Ideally I’d also plan some fun activities, but it never seems to happen. I think part of the problem is that we’re always fighting against our clutter. It’s not just the stuff that we have in piles around the house. Mental clutter is also getting in the way.
So, my extra task for today is to finish gathering all the remaining blog and story ideas strewn about my office, organize the good ones, and throw away the rest. This will require going through some piles of papers, which means I’ll be working toward one of my larger 2018 goals. Today is a day to declutter!
Part of the reason I do those weekend to-do posts is so that I don’t have to come up with ideas mid-weekend. I never expect to get all those things done, but the list frees up my brain & if I get stuck mentally, I can pull up the blog and see what Friday me thought I could do.
Your Friday You is much more energetic and optimistic than my Friday Me. My Friday Me is satisfied with the mere thought that Saturday Me and Sunday Me might get to sleep in!
