But I added to "supper time" cooking, eating, AND. kitchen clean up/leftovers in refrig, and dish washing. Laundry? I define as washing, drying, AND mmediately folding to avoid wrinkles, and putting away. The WHOLE chain of activities is automatically included. Makes it all a mindless habit. Taking care of the mundane gives me head and time space for other activities.

I'm close, but not there every day - So, woohoo! you are doing a fantastic job! It's so easy to let it go until the next morning, but a little like having that glass of wine that you should have passed on ... a headache!

I'm still kicking my heels, of course. Last night we had to go grocery shopping right after dinner--and as soon as we got home, I put everything away and did our dishes when all I wanted to do was curl up with my book. I was shocked at myself.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-24945877873415581032013-10-19T07:34:43.361-06:002013-10-19T07:34:43.361-06:00I am always glad when I wake up to a clean kitchen...I am always glad when I wake up to a clean kitchen. Sadly, that doesn't happen as often as I'd like! Totally hear you on not wanting to do kitchen chores right after dinner, but I've found that works best for me. And that means all of them--not only dishes, but the next day's lunches (one I particularly detest). For me, then, the reward is getting to do whatever I want, and not having any other kitchen chores hanging over my head.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227597091783239454noreply@blogger.com
