Why doing your laundry

Today’s talk on what matters is about, moving some of your laundry to the washing machine.  How often do you do your laundry? Do you leave the basket until you have run out of clothes, and then panic? Where do you put your laundry once the machine has washed it?

That mess is causing your mental health and learning to suffer – but have no fear, once you know how you will be able to excel! There are reasons why doing your laundry at any old time is causing you to feel overwhelm and you are not learning how to get the laundry done. Today I am going to dive (pardon the pun), into what to do and why:

1 – You have to monitor the weather

2 – You have to prioritize what matters to you as to what you need to learn to do.

You have to monitor the weather

When I say this, it may sound silly, but there is a reason why there is a weather segment, possibly on every news channel in the world! And, you may not realize this, but have you noticed, whenever you speak to someone you know (say a friend or family, or other.)

Do you find yourself asking “How is the weather treating you?” It is as if we all think the weather owes us something. It doesn’t. My teaching point is this, the weather affects everything that we (you do). That includes you knowing when the rain is coming so that your ability to do some laundry is not affected.

My example and story for you is this: It is Sunday night and the weather segment is about to come on, so I tune in. I discover that Monday will be fine and sunny, with a bit of wind. I have learned over the years, that these conditions (sunny, with a bit of wind) are the best for doing the laundry. Why? It is fine and sunny outside, with a bit of wind. Your laundry will air and dry and will smell nice. My next teaching point is this, I have mentioned Sunday and Monday for a reason. It is a great way to START your week if you do not have to be anywhere in a hurry, and when you do your laundry on days that I have now mentioned, (fine, with a bit of wind) you will be able to move on to the next thing. So my teaching point is to learn to monitor the weather. Your brain and body will thank you for it. I know mine does.

You have to prioritize what matters to you, as to what you need to learn to do.

You cannot prioritize what matters to you if you do not KNOW what that is or what that looks like so that you are able to flow strategically. For example, my teaching point, is this. Once I have checked on what the weather will do on a Monday, (fine with a bit of a breeze) I then check on how much laundry I have to get done for that day. So this is me with my steps in action and my strategy flowing.

Once I have done this, I check and monitor my time. I then do a load and then I do something else that also matters to me for my mental health and learning, to keep my strategy in flow. For me prioritizing means steps, strategy, and success, so that overwhelm is overcome. Once the load has been done, and I have done something else while the laundry was being washed, it is all about hanging the laundry on the line, to air and dry, in the sun, and the breeze, as I have mentioned.

So to recap on the talk ( monitor the weather) and teaching for today (I have mentioned what I do)

Monitor the weather. It will help your mental health, by learning to care about how you feel and what you need to focus on. 

I suggest you do the same. You do this, by prioritizing and planning, so that you get your housework done, on repeat. This is why I learned to write down in what order I did my cleaning so that all surfaces would gleam with shine and ended up creating a list of the surfaces and spaces that would always need attention.
