What I learnt this week - it doesn't matter if the bathroom is not spotless.
What I learnt this week. That my family doesn't care if the bathroom is not spotless.
Saturday I cleaned the whole house, I dusted, cob webbed, vacuumed and mopped but the bathrooms got missed. Everyday this week I scheduled to clean the bathrooms, they're still not clean.
I've had a busy week with a new client, a public holiday (through me right out), meetings, every day errands and they just never got done. Everyone has to-do list, (some longer than others) and everyone needs to know how to prioritise your list. Whether you have one new born or 5 children, are a working mum or stay at home mum. Whether you are a single mum or have a partner there are always chores to do and finding the time to get them all complete in 24hours is a tough gig.
What I learnt this week (gently reminded) that it doesn't matter if the bathroom isn't spotless or your bed doesn't get made. It doesn't matter if dinner isn't ready at 6pm every night or your cobwebs seem to get bigger and bigger. Sometimes it's more powerful to let it go.
Enjoy your week and keep learning ox

What I learnt this week - that sometimes I need to Jump.
Each week I hope to share with you what I have learnt for the week. It may not always be a blog. Sometimes it maybe a one line facebook status update.
This page was set up to share with everyone my progress and allow others to follow the journey as I set up a non-for profit organisation for mums and their families, for you. This is my main reason for keeping things transparent. I welcome others opinions, ideas and experiences. They will all go towards making this service awesome and supporting as many families as possible.
This week I have learnt that although all professionals, family and friends will say 'take one step at a time' I have found that I work a lot better when I jump. When my to-do list is so long I can't possibly get through it all, (but always written down often with sub lists).
I have always known I work better under pressure and with a time frame and jumping in, swimming but not sinking, is how I work best.
I have found this to be a great way to reflect on my week. To think about what I have learnt. I hope others will share what they have learnt.
I hope to continue learning forever.
