Jan's Succulent Spiral of Success Journal

[Jan Ferrante]

I've haven't been on top of my BOOST the past week so I am glad to get back to it today.

 

'Quick sweep' of my bedroom and kitchen and then I am going to focus most of my time on the bathroom downstairs today. It gets out of hand so fast and the washing maching guy is hopefully coming this week (whole other story!)

 

Also we are spending some time this afternoon cleaning the storage area (that isn't supposed to be a storage area! by our front door. Have rallied the troops to make a point of it today to remove their stuff! I admit, it took awhile, but today is THE DAY!!

 

I can't wait to move up and into 'the spiral of success'!! I want to be ready!!

Having a fantastic week so far. Have had focused cleaning time every day - since things were a little off with the washing machine guy coming and my son/husband up for cleaning their stuff out from under our front porch I've tweaked my BOOST time - the result is that I've been able to get two major areas out of my hair which is fantastic.  (it is on the second floor, the basement is a walkout so it's a natural area to stick things out of the weather - a little too handy - I have a heck of a time keeping it clear until we get some kind of shed built. I smell a project coming on!!)

Combined with the recent new floor and clear out of my work room I am a little behind in regular BOOST sessions, but catching up - but it's been worth it.

It is all coming around again - sometimes it just works that way!

Tomorrow I will be back on my regular BOOST schedule - I am really looking forward to it. I'm tempted to do some today but trying to balance myself with some other work I need to do. I am going to scrub the grout areas on the bottom of the shower though, that's my treat! The bathroom looks nice so I want to take it up just a little bit more and hang some border wallpaper that I've had here too long to even try to remember!

I feel 100lbs lighter with the new clear areas - it's going to be so much easier when we add the 'spiral of success' this week.

I did well in keeping somewhat on a schedule for doing my BOOST and keeping the house in order. Since there were a few events here lately that required me to do specific areas, it was more of a concentrated effort in some places than others but the overall effect was fantastic, I made some great lasting progress in areas that have been nagging me for a long time!
Today is the first day with the focus on the '7 keys - sprial of success'. Friday for me is finances. I have been in the habit of doing that one for quite awhile so it's not a big stretch but I am going to try to do the 'minors' today as well.
I start my new job on Monday so I have a lot to do today - better not dawdle and get to it! Am very glad that I was able to get so much done lately so I am starting off from a good place.

Wow, time flies! I have been a bit off since starting my new job but now that I am getting a routine established things will be getting somewhat normal - I have worked out a plan to make my boost a priority when I get home on the early days or days I don't have to work. That will ensure that I don't let things get too far out of hand - that makes everything so much harder.

I am finding that adding my 7 keys into the routine makes such a difference, if not in my house, definitely in my mindset and feeling of accomplishment. So far I have only been doing one major with my BOOST and am always glad that I did.

Things are particularly challenging right now because I also am prepping for the farmers market that started last tues - next week it should be better since most of the major stuff will be done - for now it's full out so that I have things to sell - it goes July/Aug so I can't waste my table time.
