3 In 30 Challenge

In an attempt to make myself a better person...or at least a more organized, healthier person, I am trying out a new challenge. I can be found at http://3in30.ashleypichea.com/

 I have to set three goals for the month of August.  It is said that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit so by the time I rock and roll off to see Pearl Jam at Alpine Valley, I should have at least one of these goals checked off.  Oops, I'm already predicting failure...okay, I will have all three checked off!

Here are my goals:

1. Get to bed at a reasonable time:  this should be easy as I am always exhausted but I find I come alive at night, in the wee small hours, and don't get to sleep much at all.  As a result, I am running half-charged and it really does impact my family.  I see this goal as the most important due to the knock-on effect it has on everyone.
2. Set reasonable limits on my blogging:  while this may seem contradictory to my recent post's announcement that I'm determined to get back into the blogging seat, it is actually essential to me achieving goal number 1.  You see, I would be up all night reading and posting if I could....it relaxes me....but it is not good for my health.  So, I am going to allow myself an hour each day and that is it.  Gulp!
3. De-clutter my house:  simple tasks are like great obstacles for me.  I see clutter but don't know where to put it so somewhere else isn't cluttered.  I hoard to a very small degree, but the boys have a ridiculous amount of toys and so does my husband.  Then there is the sentimental factor of old pictures, works of pre-school art, etc.  I am going to be kind to myself and give myself a 15 minute de-cluttering time every day.  Hope that doesn't consist of thinking about what to do and then having no time to actually do it!
