If you clean just one thing each day, your life makes slow and steady progress. Those little steps add up. Studies show that being accountable for your steps helps ensure they get done, so this thread is offered as a helping hand!
Today was a sad day for me. My beloved parakeet, Ivory, passed away on Thursday, and she lived in my office with me. So today was taking down her cage and clearing away all her things. We had moths in here because of the seeds, so it was important to take the step fairly quickly. Still, it was sad, "wiping away proof she'd existed". Now there's a big, empty spot (literally) where she used to live. She was 11 years old and she lived in my home office, so she was a constant companion. I'm in here most all day every day.
So in a larger sense it's good that I'm cleaning the office. I am working so much every day that I rarely get to it, and the office is piles and piles of stuff. But since I am in here all day every day, I think it would help me focus better if I was in a cleaner environment.
