How to Stay Sane? Tip 1: Make a List
/I’m thrilled that the day has come for our kitchen remodel, but I alternate between panic, overwhelm and excitement.
How am I keeping my sanity? With two of my favorite strategies.
#1: I have been making a list…or lists in this case. For this project my lists included:
- what we needed to pack away
- areas I had to clear out
- what we needed to move to set up our temporary kitchen
- miscellaneous things we needed to do to get ready
- questions to ask the contractors
- items we had to shop for
Keeping a list helps me keep it all together. And there is a the feeling of accomplishment when something gets crossed off. How do you use lists?
Stay tuned for #2 later this week.
