Stick with It
Aug. 3rd, 2017 10:30 pmI ordered a book for the library that I want to read. it's called Stick with It: A Scientifically Proven Process for Changing Your Life-for Good. I skimmed it today while I was cataloging it (yeah, I know--occupational hazard). To make a change in your life, you need to make the change:
I've been struggling with how to make cleaning and organizing the place important to me. I tend to think of home as a place to drop my stuff, sleep, and leave again (which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy). The book says that people respond to carrots better than sticks, but I think that I'll take a picture of the mess in the kitchen, and schedule it to post on Facebook next week. I can take the picture down only if I clean the kitchen. I think that might work.
I also am going to post a picture of the RV that I like to encourage me to get rid of stuff.
Otherwise, work was work-like. Still plowing through cataloging books. Tomorrow is Friday. (I'm not taking Friday off because I need to cover the front desk worker's lunch.)
- Stepladders (small steps)
- Community-based
