Here is Day 3 of our Mini Morning and Mini Evening routine. CLICK HERE FOR DAY 1 –CLICK HERE FOR DAY 2
Today our focus was on dishes, dinner time cleanup and creating a new standard.
Putting dishes away is a part of our morning routine and being sure the dinner dishes are done before bed is part of the night time routine. Today I want you to add “dinner dishes done” to just after “Make dinner/Eat.”
There are people who would NEVER walk away from eating without cleaning up first. We’ve become accustomed to putting things off till later and it seems normal to us after a long day to walk away from the dinner table.
In day 3 video, I talk about creating a new standard and how we could get ourselves to do what we just couldn’t have before. This is a hack of my own that has works for me! Every time I find myself needing a push I do this.
Pretend you are someone else, pretend that you are playing a part in a broadway show and you are the person in your life who always cleans up after dinner, the Organizationally Gifted person who gets stuff done! Step into their shoes, pretend you’re them when you are done with dinner and watch how different it feels to do the job.
