So these past several years I find my life has spiraled into a giant cluster . One step forward 10 steps back....some of it, is my own fault and today I'm finally going to commit to all of the plans I've had swimming in my head. Some will take time and some will have to wait, but I will actively take steps and quit procrastinating to move forward and stop thinking..."one day"...
I'm coping (well, I guess apparently struggling ) with some anxiety/stress and some physical health issues but I also I have OCD and control issues, which has increased because I find my life is in complete disarray. I guess that's one point for vicious cycle and zero for me! So, basically that's it, I'm done and I'm starting from complete scratch! (No big stuff like quitting my job or getting divorced or anything like that just the way I move thru life and "get 'er done"....so to say.)
I'm going to fully evaluate my current routines and habits, see what works and what needs to change and be added. I'm also going to take this step by step because this overhaul and undertaking will at times be overwhelming....Just thinking of all the things I need and want to do is giving me palpitations! LOL!
I'm starting this thread because not only are you fine people on this site a super nice and encouraging group, but this will also hold me accountable and perhaps even help others who may want to take this journey with me.
I'm open to suggestions and tips if you wish to contribute and I will keep things updated as I move along as well.
So to start, my first step is to make lists....and lots of them! I love lists and am kinda giddy right now thinking about making a binder or something of the sort to get my brain on paper. I'll finally start using all my note pads and colored pens and stickers....I love office supplies!
My lists will include...
1) Making a budget
2) Making a health routine
3) Making a beauty routine
4) Making a "de-clutter" list - areas around the home that need it
5) Making a "future project" list
6) Making Cleaning schedule
7) Creating inventory lists/charts for the pantry, freezer, fridge etc....
8) Making a general "to do" list, for example...I need to defrost my freezer.
9) Make a shopping list of things I need to accomplish my goals
10) Making meal planning charts
.........Well, that's just off the top of my head......any other things I'm forgetting?
I found these 2 sites that have some good info...the second one has checklists!
