Lazy proofing the day

It's the week of Holi and Good Friday. Both emphasize on letting go of the evil and giving birth to goodness in us. There is a lot of motivation in this world only if we choose to see it. With this in mind, I have decided to make my life better by organizing myself (how else!!). Yes, I know I don't need a reason to get into my cleanliness-freak mode :P But the satisfaction of seeing a clean house with all things in their proper places is sooooo good! :D

It's a long weekend with Easter round the corner. Usually, I am so beat down by the office commute that I tend to wake up late on holidays. I then go to gym around 10 AM which means, half the day is gone by the time I return. I spend the other half moping around. I read this very nice article here on how to lazy proof your day. It mentions five easy tricks to get the better of laziness.


1. Make your bed

2. Prepare a to-do list
3. Do the most challenging task first
4. Add a good deed
5. Dress up, show up!

So I kicked off my day at 6:30 AM. Made my bed, changed and hit the gym. By 8:30 AM, I was back home having breakfast. After a quick shower, I sorted laundry and folded the clean clothes. Relaxed for some time by chatting with friends. The newspapers in our house are such a mess thanks to my dad :) Mom and I straightened all the papers and kept it aside ready to be sold off. And it's not even 12 yet!! I am very happy that I was able to give time for myself and my family - no guilt. This will stop me from cribbing if guests drop by later :P


Doing odd chores around the house is so gratifying :) Hope to keep up this simple routine and build on that inner peace!
