Day 2 - Lexical Light, Cozi Calendar and Flylady Mashup Project

 

Day 2 is done. Act like I've been here before.

 

 

Reflections

1) Getting 15 minutes of concentrated work out of the kids and myself feels like an accomplishment.

2) The kids transition into their Daily Duties pretty well. If we can be consistent, it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes each day for them to do their  Zone Work and Daily Duties. (Heh-heh, I said duty.)

 

Results

 Here's what we did compared with what I planned to do, as noted yesterday's  post.

1) Organize pantry. (Done. Thought it would take longer. Could've been sorted a bit more, but it was good.)

2) Clean garage door. (Done. Door from laundry room to garage. Looks much better. Needed a little coaching & elbow-grease teaching.)

3) Dust ceiling, light fixture, & other tall places. (Done. Even put globe back on light above sink. Can't remember how long that's been naked.)

4) Wipe appliances & cabinets. ( Not done. Replaced with cleaning behind trashcan, which is next to garage door.)

Added:

1) Cleaned wall behind trashcan.  

2) Cleaned top & a bit behind buffet. (Continue tomorrow.)

 

Ready for tomorrow with this list: (Write on whiteboard.)

1) Clean behind & under buffet.

2) Dust & wipe down windowsills.

3) Clean microwave, insde & out.

4) Clean outisde of trashcan, washer, & dryer.

5) Organize cabinet containing plastics.

 

KLONK!  ZLOP!  POW! We're going to KNOCK THIS OUT! (That's my brain under the influence of a 1966 Batman episode.)

@Christy, awww....I inspired you. Thanks for that. It made me smile. I'm also no good at marshaling the troops. I joke that I need a drill sergeant hat to play the part.

@Jen, it is good to get the lists out of your brain. Of course, I'm great at making lists, but actually doing them is another thing. Kapow!

Thank you both for taking the time to comment. :)

This is awesome! I have all of these types of list in my brain but to actually put it to work is amazing. BTW I so loved that episode of Batman :)

I am impressed. The fact that you have gotten your peeps to help is inspiring. I am such a weenie when it comes to cajoling the young'uns.
Also I am impressed that you are working little bit by little bit to get ONE zone at a time done. This is revolutionary to my mind. You have inspired me...
