I procrastinate. A lot. I think it’s because I know I work best under pressure. Give me only one task to be complete this week, I’ll drag my feet and get really into it two hours before its due. Bury me in tasks, where I feel little hope of getting it all done, and I soar.
Hence my starting Spring cleaning in August. There’s no real due date to speak of – only upcoming visitors are family – but I feel it’s about time I got down to it. School’s starting back up for me in just over a month. That means I’ll either have zero time to clean house (except for mad dashes just before guests arrive) or tons of free time in which I’ll want a nice, clean house to craft/watch crappy TV/spend time with Matt in. Or maybe I just want my house to be as neat and organized as those I see photos of in the design and craft blogs.
Our place is pretty much a pigsty right now. While clean is easy to obtain, there are two rooms in our place that have never been organized at all: the office and the bedroom. Sure, our clothes are primarily in our (separate) closets and (singular) dresser but that’s only part of the battle there. The office, heh, it’s a nightmare – and it’s 90% my mess. Those two rooms will be my main focus.
I could provide photo evidence of the current state – yes, I just pulled out a Six Sigma term – but, really, I don’t want to scare anyone off. Let’s just say it’s bad, really bad, and tonight is when it all starts to get better.
I’ve already made my Spring cleaning to do list. It’s 35 items long.
