creating routines

I am good at flying by the seat of my pants...it's not healthy for me though as it triggers the fight or flight syndrome

 In 2001 Daughter 4 gave me Flylady.net  web site since the last  4 kids were leaving home within a couple months and I was going to be cleaning alone and I became a flybaby. LOL I admit I have been off and on that bandwagon a lot.

I sat down yesterday and started working out a routine that I can handle and get done the work I want without triggering my flight or flight... I hope .

I started with my bedtime routine as I do it pretty much all the time

Then I went to the morning routine which is most the time, lunch time routine, after 3 routine then I added  a home blessing and zone work. I decided to work on the punch list when I am working in that zone.

I will start this Feb 2. Seems like a good day Groundhogs day along with Imbolic and St. Bridget day.

Just and FYI
Imbolc is traditionally the great festival and honouring of Brigid (Brighid, Bride, Brigit), so loved as a pagan Goddess that her worship was woven into the Christian church as St Bridget. She is a Goddess of healing, poetry and smithcraft. She is a Goddess of Fire, of the Sun and of the Hearth. She brings fertility to the land and its people and is closely connected to midwives and new-born babies. She is the Triple Goddess, but at Imbolc she is in her Maiden aspect.

Zones will be done each week with the figuring of 5 wks a month. Since a lot of months only have a few days the 5th week I put the least needed area to be cleaned/worked on during the 5th week. It is also I can do something in that area on weeks I have the other zones done.
