Summer Break Fail

I planned to do so much cleaning and organizing on summer break but I only got a little done.  I found myself to be tired on many days and other days, I found myself running around for many hours, going to the gym, laundromat, visiting my Aunt, going to the beach, shopping, following trials and going to yard sales and flea markets.  I have 4 months left to 2025 to accomplish my NY resolution to clean my house.  Yesterday I spent some time watching YouTube health videos and continued this morning.  Now I want to add Walmart to my day to get Vital Proteins.  I am getting it for muscle regeneration and for my hair and nails.  It's not cheap but if it helps, it will be worth it.

Sounds like you were living life. Doing a little cleaning at a time may better than trying to tackle the whole thing at once. I'll take the beach over cleaning most days

i don't believe i have ever completed a vacation ambition list. i figure that's okay. one's reach should always exceed their grasp. the stuff i didn't get done can wait.

i'll second mel's notion of doing the cleaning a little at a time. cleaning an entire house is a daunting task. cleaning a little here and a little there i can handle. those little bits add up.

I have found that cleaning the house all at once is a daunting task. I would say to start with one room at a time.

You would probably do a much better job with that one room knowing that you can break for the day when it is done.

Maybe tomorrow or the next day you can go to the second one. Just a thought. It has worked for me

Hugs!

Thanks ladies! I blame my dislike of cleaning on my Mom who made me help with the housework from a young age. But ADHD plays a role as well as my tired spells. I think I am going to the beach with my brother on Sunday but I think it's going to be around the mid-seventies so I'll be bringing a sweatshirt. YesMel, the beach wins out for me too! I have beaten my record for going to the beach since my twenties, I think.
