What progress in the first four days of the month! As it turned out, Wednesday was assigned the Mt. Vernon focus day. So after my workout, downstairs chores, and shower, I focused on section one of the office. Totally finished dusting, washing grocery bags, clearing items off the hooks, putting away stuff camped on the stairs and a good vacuuming. So already ahead and I hadn't reached my normal Mt. V days. Thursday and Friday I cleaned up section two which included the cubbies and shoe spaces and cleaned up the pile in the corner. Dusting and vacuuming finished those two days. Friday evening I sorted through the battery box and the magazine box. I'll read magazines and newsletters before naptime. Only things still needing attention in section two include the cart, the boxes in the orange chair and the overstuffed bag of gift bags. I did sort through the first four drawers of the cart on Saturday night. Added some things to the backlog. Saturday morning I spent the length of a podcast tackling part of the floor from section three. I added a list of boxes to my sort list. I think if I can physically clean the sections on Thur.-Sat. and sort a box during TV time each night and make a plan for what's left in the box after all the unnecessary stuff is removed should really keep me moving along. I guess I'm okay with paper items being added to the backlog. I just don't want boxes and boxes left at the end of March. I'll see how it goes as I'm way ahead on my timeline. At least two weeks ahead. Since it is an Eager Hands week, Thursday and Friday's focus will be cleaning around the filing cabinet and lower part of my desk and the bulletin board area. Drawers and cubbies will be added to the sort list. The boxes in front of the bookcases really need to be sorted. I don't want to keep moving them back and forth to clean the book area. Since I'm ahead maybe putting off section four until those boxes are sorted would be okay. I'm really pleased with the progress as I was dreading this area a bit. So much stuff crammed in here. Emptying boxes will really help as I have even more boxes to sort once I get to the closets. Just keep moving forward!
