Sometimes we have a brilliant idea out of nowhere, but often, you just need to see someone else’s idea and then tweak it to fit your exact needs.
The thing I’ve noticed though is that having any more than 2 or 3 different task ideas in my head at one time that I’m trying to remember can get kind of distracting.Actually it can get pretty stressful if you’re trying to focus on one thing but you know that you absolutely must.
to do those two other things or disaster will strike!Having all of my tasks written down in a list really takes a load off of my mind and lets me actually enjoy getting stuff done!When the timer goes off, I just have a quick look at my phone to see what’s next!.
So what kind of things are on my lists?I almost always have a little bit of everything.
Sometimes I’ll focus for an hour on getting a whole bunch of little “blog work” things done that have been bugging me, but in one list of 10-minute tasks, I could do some quick trim-painting in whatever room we’re working on, some planning for whatever holiday is coming up, some online shopping, some regular cleaning tasks, and some organizing and decluttering, and some blog work too.
Having a little bit of everything in there really helps me feel like I’m making a little bit of visible progress on all of my goals every day and it keeps me from feeling bored.Realistically, I know I’ll probably replace this bedskirt before I actually take it out and throw it in the laundry, so glue was the way to go!.
I took some wide strips of some scrap drop cloth that I had laying around and glued those to the bottom of the bed to act as the secret “base” to the bed skirt.. At this point, I realized that I probably could have just stuck some wide strips of a nice patterned fabric on there and that would have been good enough for a bed skirt, but it was too late!I was in too deep!.
I also realized that I didn’t have the heart to disturb the kitty’s nap to make the bed for this picture, so I didn’t.I had originally wanted to make this a ruffly bed skirt.
