I wish I could sleep until 7; if I sleep until 5:30, I consider it "sleeping in."

I also add "do something each day that brings me joy," whether it is a visit to the library, or reading some favorite blogs online, drinking some hot chocolate in winter, or taking a long walk on a sunny day. Sometimes just gazing out my windows brings me joy and I have to allow myself that luxury even when I'm really busy.

I too am up early when I am not working, usually between 6am - 7am. But my problem is I do spend too much time on the computer in the morning.... Hence, I am cutting back a bit on my posts...<br />Hugs,<br />DebDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053986543705183158.post-87890142803459332622018-02-26T16:38:20.877-08:002018-02-26T16:38:20.877-08:00Lots of good things to keep in mind and DO!

We've never had a dishwasher so we always got in the habit of doing the dishes right away and cleaning up before bedtime. Now my mom used to do spring and fall cleaning, the "old fashioned" way. EVERYTHING was washed. Walls, ceilings, baseboards, all draperies to cleaners, etc. I can't say I do THAT but I do love giving everything a good cleaning especially in the spring when you can fling the windows open and let in all the fresh air!Lauren @ My Wonderfully Madehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728384738339919639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053986543705183158.post-59606630054781494012018-02-26T15:46:22.436-08:002018-02-26T15:46:22.436-08:00what a fun post, Jann.

I was jerked out of bed unmercifully by my alarm clock for all those years & forced to keep a strict schedule. Now, we sleep all day if we want to, because we've stayed up all night doing whatever we wanted to do! If we wake up and are still sleepy, we doze right back to sleep. Our bed is never made. We eat when we are hungry at whatever time of the day or night! My husband and I are the happiest we've ever been. We pride ourselves on being totally disorganized about most things. Our total focus is on having fun and enjoying life. We've found that midnight is the best time to grocery shop. No crowds, the shelves are fully stocked then. Enjoy life. Tear up those to-do lists. Let the OCD'S drive themselves crazy if they want to.

I am finding that when I see something that needs to be done I MUST add it to the list otherwise I forget about it and so on and so on.<br /><br />This was a great post and I am going to back to making lists again.<br /><br />Have a great week.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Mary<br />Mary@mydogsmygardenandmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265174897498950754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053986543705183158.post-32683693378422619022018-02-25T10:17:51.560-08:002018-02-25T10:17:51.560-08:00I am up super early every morning (5:30 by the lat...I am up super early every morning (5:30 by the latest) and kind of have a morning routine that keeps me functioning at an 'organized' level.

Usually out of bed at 7. I always know there's some kind of chore that can be done...my problem is getting motivated. So I like the idea of maybe one shelf or one drawer at a time. I'd love to do one closet in one day. LOL I really used to be a more organized person. So I will be working on that this spring. Blessings to you, hope you are loving the weekend. xoxo, SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.com
