Hey everyone. For the past week, I set a goal of taking 30 minutes each day and cleaning up around my apartment, which was successful. Okay, so technically I didn't clean yesterday but I cleaned for an hour today, so it makes up for it. Anyway, I'm happy with how things are going so far.
Now obviously 30 minutes is a short time span and even over a week, that's just 3.5 hours out of 168 hours total. Then again, that's still a few hours compared to not setting a goal and doing cleaning tasks for like an hour. It definitely reinforces the idea of little efforts building up over time, because the kitchen is definitely looking nicer than it was a week ago.
The best part is that while I was being a lump for most of the day, I cleaned for an hour and felt a little better because I could see progress I made in tidying up the place. I do still have plenty to cover but again, it's better to approach the issue with many little efforts than one daunting big effort. Now if only I can get myself into the same mentality with my grad work.
This has been an episode of "Matt pats himself on the back" and "Matt's day was rather uneventful", and now it's time to wrap up. Tomorrow will begin the last week of regular classes here, so now it's seeing how the students feel about finals. In terms of holidays, it will be National Cotton Candy Day, as well as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
