Here’s a good question for you… What is your minimum?

Every now and again, life admin piles up, chores in the house pile up, you can feel overwhelmed trying to everything in one go, and some days it’s like what can go wrong does, uncomplicated things all of a sudden get complicated. What do you say? (minus the swear words)

‘Lets start from scratch’

Rip and up and start again… (yes get the Orange Juice song on)

This week I have got to thinking about what my minimums are, and I am feeling really good about it.

The minimum being… what can I do every day to chip away at my 10/10 life.

Here are some examples.

Always tidy the kitchen after dinner, don’t leave dishes in the sink

I have NO idea why but I like to clean my bathroom on Friday night

Always fold my clothes before I put them away so they not creased as f**k when I want to wear them.

Have a food plan for the week so I don’t waste food and I don’t overeat either (its a thing for me)

Always make my bed as soon as I get up.

Always write a blog on a Tuesday!

Have my set days for gym work and running.

Do you get the idea?

If I get my baseline right then it doesn’t seem so much effort and things don’t get in a real mess that can make me feel overwhelmed and I don’t know where to start.

I always find that the MORE organised I am, the LESS stressed I am.

Pick one area and stick to it. If its the mountain of crap in your spare room (when it should be a guest room!) what can you do to make it nicer place to go into?

Of course its all very easy when I don’t have kids to write posts about getting things in order, but if you have hangers on living with you who are capable of tidying up after themselves then maybe that could be a start!

My word for the year is effortLESS.

If I keep on top of things, they won’t pile up and get out of control

A great person to look up on Instagram is @thisgirlcanorganise. She’s very very good and a parent so she knows what its like to have lots of plates spinning.

Be well!
