Deliberately clean one thing (a room, drawer, shelf, etc.) for a month - it doesn't sound like a lofty goal, but I completely underestimated my hatred of cleaning. While I knew my aversion to chasing after dust bunnies was strong, I apparently didn't know its depths. (On the bright side, I gained a bit of personal insight this month.)
Despite my lack of enthusiasm I believe I cleaned at least one thing each day, but at times it seemed as if I was just attempting to keep the clutter from taking over. I had grandiose visions of cleaning out the office, mopping the floors each week, finally unpacking a couple of boxes that have sat on a shelf for the past 2.5 years. Unfortunately February looked more like a cycle of cleaning bathrooms, washing dishes, taking out the recycling, etc... and I still have a stack of insurance papers sitting on the piano (which needs a good dusting) from a meeting two weeks ago. Even though it wasn't that great of a month goal-wise, I think I'll return to this goal again later in the year...perhaps when I don't have so much school work to tie up my evenings and weekends.
Moving on to March's goal - write a letter (snail-mail style) to one person every day. The count so far:
3/1 - Tiffany
3/2 - Good News Cards from school to 4 students

Maybe you need a sabbath--day of rest, while doing your monthly goals? That would give you a breather... However, for some of us we have that backward, I think, taking breather days to ramp up for a day of duty... That isn't you, for sure! Have a good week coming up--and allow yourself a breather! AuntS
i think you are very ambitious to try and do one thing every single day. i also was thinking that you need at least sunday off!
i am pretty sure i cleaned something everyday, but that is only if you count doing dishes and laundry and wiping off the table. organizational cleaning got done much less.
have fun writing the letters - that sounds like a rewarding challenge.
Thank you for the first letter! Yours is in the mail (haha).
