We have roofers at our house this week so Chris is even planning to take a day off work to watch the roofing magic.
You also become super-efficient from tackling these tasks over and over again, and working them into your daily lists and game-playing in different ways.Being a master of efficiency at packing school lunches doesn’t sound like a huge accomplishment, unless you’re a mom who has to do it every busy day of your life.
Well then in that case, that kind of lunch-packing efficiency sounds like a life-saver!If you can set up routines, stick to them for a bit, then keep improving them to get better and better, little by little, you’ll be amazed at how little pockets of extra time start popping up in your day!.Get help.. You really can learn to do an amazing number of things in the course of your day, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll ever be able to do everything.
Sometimes you might need some help for practical reasons like not having the right tools for a certain cleaning job around the house, and sometimes you might just not like to do a certain job at all.If you know that you’ll just be beating your head against a wall if you try and fail that one task another time, then it’s OK to get help.
Keeping your own sanity is absolutely key to keeping a balanced and amazingly productive schedule.
Don’t ever feel bad if you need to ask for help around the house or with having someone watch the kids for you for a little bit.This video outlines the full process on a newly installed window.To quickly sharpen your kitchen or crafting scissors, just cut through a piece of sandpaper a few times.
An old or slightly used up piece of sandpaper will work just fine, just make sure you wash your scissors with warm, soapy water once you’re done sharpening!For the last six weeks or so, I’ve been touring around with CIL paints and visiting with DIYers at a bunch of different Home Depots to help people get over their “paint paralysis”.You know what I mean: It’s when you’re terrified to start painting a room for fear of picking the wrong colour and having to do everything all over again.
So you just live with a colour you hate instead for years and years.It’s a stealer of joy in the lives of many innocent people for sure.
