Ugh! “Another scratched CD” I thought to myself as I heard a song skip while I was driving this afternoon.
The thought that kept popping into my head after that was, “we don’t take care of our stuff”, “how are we going to change that?!”.
I could blame it on being too busy, not having good systems in place, having too much stuff, being too easy-going etc etc. All of that plays a part, BUT I think that we are at a stage where we need to instill in each of us, a family ethos that “We take care of our things”. The fact is, when we FEEL it is too hard, we leave it (case and point: sorting the clothes that the kids have grown out of). We need to change the way we think and our habits. We need to tackle a little…often. That way it won’t be an overwhelming job, and we will avoid burn out.
So this is what I will be tackling this week, amidst birthdays and birthday preparation! yikes!
If you have any tips along the way, I would love to hear them!
Little and often, good advice, keep chipping away, thanks for this
