Christmas Countdown – Five Months
July 25, 2011A Day for Little Things
July 27, 2011I'm not a morning person. I never have been. In my perfect world, I'd get to wake up around 10, have a leisurely brunch, and start my day. If you haven't noticed, the world isn't perfect. To make things worse, I'm in a very busy time right now with lots on my plate. So finding time to do even the essentials is gettingto be a challenge.
This morning, I had to get out of bed right on time — no hitting snooze. Today was the day Candlelight Processional Packages went on sale at Disney World and I needed to make my reservation. While I tried to dial in and then sat on hold, I re-discovered just how much I can accomplish in the morning. In addition to my usual getting ready for work, eating breakfast, and walking the dog, I was able to clean up a spill, take out something to defrost for dinner, gather the recycling, sort the mail, do the dishes, and clear the kitchen table. (Oh, and I got an awesome reservation.)
Just think, if I banished the snooze button on weekdays, how many chores I could accomplish each day, leaving my evenings free for bigger projects.
