The Jar

Okay this might sound sad to some of you but…I have this jar that is filled with folded pieces of paper. What’s on the paper? My chores. I had been struggling with getting things done around the house and I thought there had to be a better way of cleaning. Yes being single, no kids or roommates one does struggle to keep things clean. Just remember us single people have no choice but to do it all with no help. And yes I also understand I am the only one to blame for it to be a mess. Now back to the story…Tired of the weekend warrior clean everything I can day, I created the chore jar. Every day I pull out a piece of paper and do that chore and put the finished chore into a different jar. It’s been working out great. I have 7 chores that I would like to do weekly so this idea was actually a good one. But I decided to add one more…the Free Day Pass!! One day I don’t have to do anything. Today, I picked and put back the chores until I found that free pass. Ahhhh it feels so good to accomplish my cleaning goal for the day.
