WHB: Weekly Habits Revisited

In the beginning was the plan. But things change, and so do plans.

Although I believed to make this weeks habits easy ones, I soon realized that I burned the candle at both ends. I went into some blocks that I’m now working through - I’ll keep you posted on it!

But let’s first get into the facts:

Hot Spots

When I started this week, all of my Hot Spots were catching fire, if not already burning up. Some of them are satellite inboxes that I simply wanted to put into my main inbox (see next section), and some others are just spots of chaos I need top sort out. Well, I didn’t make it by now.

Nevertheless, I have some success in this area: I managed to keep my sink clean, and in the evening, I collected all dishes that were forgotten throughout the day and put them into the dishwasher.

So here’s my new plan for the rest of the week: Day by day, I’m going to clean one room (kitchen, corridor, living room, berdoom), so by sunday, I’ll have them clean and can make a fresh start next week.

Inboxes

As I just mentioned, my paper inbox is currently spread over our whole appartment. As I didn’t manage to collect all the stuff and reset my inbox by now, my task is to have it done by sunday evening to have a clean start next week.

Blogging

Due to PayPal problems, I still haven’t made it into the Blog Mastermind Course. So for as long as it takes to get me in ( I reserved one of the last spots), I instead opted to publish at least one post a day on my blog.

Why did I fail

There are some reasons that make me fail on my original plan.

• Regular blogging is such a huge commitment for me that it ate almost everything else that I wanted to change.
• I had a plan for maintaining my hot spots and inboxes, but no plan for emptying them in the first place.
• I have to admit my fear of what will await me in all of the papers. I know that I’m totally out of control there, and I know there will be some very bad surprises sitting in there. So I hesitate to even touch that monster’s hiding place.
• I really want to quit crisps (I feel quite addicted to them), so failing gave me a reason to finally do it.

So now I know on what I can work to make the rest of the week more successful, and have a good start into the next week.

So my next week will be one without crisps, I guess.

In addition, if I fail to prepare myself for the upcoming week as to the above plan, I will manufacture my girlfriend a whole week’s stock of cigarettes (she builds them herself to reduce costs). I should mention that I quit smoking some 3 1/2 years before, shouldn’t I?
