Hello my Finish It Friday friends! How was your weekend? I hope you had a great one! How did you do with your to-do lists? Here’s my update.
Play List
- Play on Pinterest! Check. Check. Check. Check. Check. Yep, there was no shortage of pinning this weekend, LOL.
- Go for a run. Check!
To Finish
- Laundry. Check!
- Plan weekly meals. Check!
- Declutter files in my office. I spent quite a bit of time on my office files this weekend. I set up one new binder and organized a second. And I cleared out a bunch of old paperwork and files. Woohoo! Feels good. There is still some work to be done (like setting up some permanent tabs and removing the purple sticky notes in binder 3), but it feels good to have made a lot of progress this weekend.
By the way, I absolutely loved not cleaning this weekend since we moved our weekly cleaning to Monday nights! Loved it! Will definitely keep on cleaning during the week.
So now it’s your turn. How did your weekend go? Thanks so much for sharing!
hope everyone had a lovely weekend. Aby I so agree that cleaning is best done in the week 🙂
