Tiny Task #4

John will be SO HAPPY that the dead yogurt that spilled in the back on this shelf is now CLEAN! This is so doable one shelf at a time!

Tiny Task #2

Today I did NOT want to draw anything having to do with the refrigerator, but guess what? YEP, there it was! I don't know why I think these things are going to be so difficult, it took just a few minutes! Tossed all the dead, rotting organic material that was stuffed against the back wall (!), used hot water and some cleaner to shine the shelf, done!

Tiny Task #1

"Put away chips and bread" which have been sitting around on the counter. I did also need to find a PLACE for these (which was another task) so I did TWO today! I cleared out one of the cubbies and the extra rolls and chips can go under where we keep the bread. It worked well to draw out the tiny task in the morning so I knew what needed to be done and could plan when to fit it into my day. A small, but mighty start!

Tiny Tasks

I'm stuck.

I've been wanting to think that I'm done as most of the rooms have been cleaned, purged and cleaned again. But the reality is...the truth is...I've done some good work, but the job is not finished.

So in my "stuck miserable place", I went to the Lord this afternoon for wisdom. I decided I need to look at this area of self-education with a renewed sense of obeying the Lord and "starting again" or maybe just starting phase two now that some of the big stuff has been overcome (only to reveal the little stuff waiting to be overcome and put away).

I knew I needed some time to think. So this afternoon I sat down with a new binder with a section for "cleaning". I started by writing down some things I feel stuck about...WHEN I do have time during the day for some cleaning, I look around, and around and around and wind up overwhelmed...not knowing where to dive in. And then I start the escape plan...usually by sitting at the computer. This has been going on for some weeks (even months) now and needs to be exposed. I'm using this escape as an excuse to not listen to the Lord's prompting my conscience to KEEP GOING.

After repenting, I went to Him for wisdom...I need a plan to complete the vision.

He inspired me to make a list of "tiny tasks" and suggested to focus on these tiny tasks for the month of April. I figured that I might have 20 days in which I'd have some small block of time to take on one of these tiny tasks. He gave me the idea to write each tiny task on a tiny piece of paper. These went into a zippie bag in my notebook (so it doesn't get lost)!

So...tomorrow I should have some time...all I have to do is pick out ONE tiny task-and DO IT. I already feel a weight lifted! Only one at a time and by the end of April, some of these tasks that are dangling will be done! Then it will be time to start in earnest on the sunroom. Of course, there's always the possibility of doing more than one...something I always tell my children, to go above and beyond. So I can focus on not only the tiny task, but maybe more. :)
