I'm not the neatest person in the world and I never have been. I'm not a complete slob or anything but I'm certainly no Suzy Homemaker. So when it came time to prepare for school I found myself with a daunting task. I wanted to make sure that once my day was monopolized by school, the apartment wouldn't get completely out of control.
I began by rearranging my work room and making sure that I had enough desk space to work at if I had to do any work at home. I also wanted to make certain that I made the most of the floorspace so that chores like sweeping and vacuuming were simple. I sorted through all of my cosmetics and hair products and did away with any that were old, bent, or ugly.
My next step was to go through all of my clothing and get rid of anything that I didn't wear for one reason or another. For some people this isn't imperative, but I've noticed that the clothes I don't wear just end up cycled back into the laundry and rewashed which is a colossal waste of time.
This post is really just to encourage people to be prepared to have a large chunk of time missing from their day. If you don't prepare and you can't depend on anyone else to do chores for you, everything can get away from you very quickly. When that happens to me, I know that I get incredibly overwhelmed and then nothing gets done because I don't know where to begin.
All in all, not a very special update, but it is what I'm spending the remainder of my time doing this week. At least until I head up to NJ to visit my family.
(Next: NJ and Lilith)
