the DO JUST ONE THING Challenge

My list to do seems to be a mile long.  Is that a summer thing?  It seems like everyone I know is doing project after project right now. 

SO, I gave myself a little challenge.  I've been doing it for two weeks now (I wanted to see if I could really do it before I blogged about it) and it seems to be working GREAT!  I call it (drum roll please) . . .

THE DO JUST ONE THING CHALLENGE

I have an ongoing list of things I need to do, but never seem to get to.  The lovely list has chores listed both big and small.  So on the super busy days, I pick a small job (like clean a bathroom drawer) . . . and on those rare days when I have a huge chunk of time (huh?  like, when does that ever happen?), I pick a big job (like empty out the storage unit). 

Side note:  Yes, we emptied out our storage unit yesterday!  Which will save us a whopping $100 a month on ridulousness.  It feels oh so great!  Although, now my GARAGE is full of crap that I now need to sell or donate, but at least that gets me one step closer to getting rid of junk we don't even use!  Victory!

So, if you have a bunch of annoying little (and big) jobs that just nag at you, and you never seem to find the time for them. . .  try the DO JUST ONE THING CHALLENGE!  If it works for me, it will work for anyone.  Trust me on this.  And it feels sooooooo great to chip away and my crazy list of things to do. 

Because, you know, clean and being organized feels good!
