Day 6 Operation: Productivity

Back on track.

I took the opportunity of a long weekend to get caught up on things I let slide. Not only was the commitment there, the desire to cross another thing off the list was overwhelming.

The challenges were great and kept pouring in: a family event, Human Planet documentary, warm weather and the potential to go bike riding. I knew I had to stay focused and stay the course in order to complete anything big on the list.

I tackled the spring cleaning of the closet. Not only was I able to reorganize my closet and remove all the clothes that I didn't wear anymore, I was able to tackle the dresser too. In doing both of these things, I was able to organize my seasonal items in there final resting place under my bed. I feel like I accomplished the most difficult task on the list and got a lot organized in my apartment.

As a bonus for this weekend. I decided to unveil the bike from the storage under the stairs. This meant pulling out everything to get at the bike. What I thought would take an hour was over in 20 minutes including everything being put back. The bike required some attention (pumping up the tires, a little cleaning and oiling the chain) but once complete, I set out on a two hour ride.

Today, I tackled the hemming of clothes. I decided to not include the ironing of clothes to this item as its something I always do just before I wear the clothes. Ironing ahead of time doesn't seem necessary. Hemming the clothes was preventing me from wearing the clothes, ironing the clothes was not.

I also had other things that I needed to tend to today. Birthday cards to pick up, a computer to backup, a license registration to update, and gas for the car. I feel like it's been a busy few days and yet I have felt so productive.

Let's keep the momentum going.
