One thing at a time

By Liz on September 26, 2021

Several years ago, I transitioned from 100% paper towel to using flour cloth towels with paper towels as a “super messy” back up option.

Convenience-wise paper towels win, but landfill-wise the cloth towels win … and as I have transitioned to 14-21 days between shopping trips (COVID-19) … cloth towels win BIG!

BUT. The cloth towels must be washed, dried and … FOLDED :( … not my favorite chore. And as a side note, since I also transitioned to a bidet attachment on my commode which entails baby wash clothes for drying … there are those bity things to wash/dry/fold as well.

So, somewhat bi-weekly I am washing/drying/folding flour cloth towels or baby wash cloths. It is always a pile of cloth things to be folded.

It sometimes seem a bit daunting in the day to day must do things …

BUT, one thing at a time and all is done!

One thing at a time. One towel, one task …

Washing the motorhome! One bit at a time.

My plan … a bit at a time and then “MUCH more difficult than I thought” … and a call to the firm that helped me 2 years ago … BUT, then that person injured and …

Anyway, I finished all myself.

But, it was a little bit, day by day, over 7 days, i.e. one thing at a time.

Last week, I happened on this YouTube…

There are so many life lessons in this video!!

If I had to summarize the best things (life lessons) from this video:

When you are making such a big change, do look at the bigger picture …
But in order to actually do it, you need to take tiny baby steps
Break it down into manageable chunks
If I thought about how much work, coordination and money would have come into this …
But once I broke it into small chunks
And got help with certain things
It was doable

Doable!!

One thing at a time is doable.

Whether it is folding a pile of towels, cleaning a motorhome, learning video editing or learning French or whatever!!!

One thing at a time.

OR … GETTING. THROUGH.A.PANDEMIC :)

Yep, one thing at a time.

At my house, Emmett and I are focused on loving time together, loving time outside, loving Autumn light and just enjoying being alive and being healthy. I know all of that can change in a moment so I choose to live in the present moment of good health and good times.
