As you know, if you’ve been a long time follower of my blog, I’ve been trying to follow Flylady numerous times and I always seem to fail. I do ok for a week or two then just get disheartened and give up. I was doing some blog surfing recently and found a link to HabitHacker and thought I’d check it out. Sounds ok. Sounds like something I could do.
The first step in habit hacking your ‘nest’ is to “Polish your place” (or choose a spot & clean it). It can be any place – your sink (ala FlyLady) or your bedside table or anything. Just somewhere you will keep clean everyday.
I chose my main bench in the kitchen. It’s a dumping ground. We make cuppa’s here. I prepare food here. I, for some reason known only to a small part of my brain, sort mail here. Lately it’s been shocking. Cue the Before photo
Well one week in and I am still managing to keep this bench tidy. I’m finding it so easy to give it a quick wipe over and to put things away when I’ve finished with them and to give it a spray and wipe after breakfast and before I go to bed.
See?
