Just a quick note - Monday 30th June 2014.

Hey everyone I just wanted to do a quick update to let you know that today June 30th I completed my cleaning as per the schedule. I have been seriously slacking off this past few weeks but I have a renewed energy for this project again. 

Today I completed the daily cleaning tasks and I am currently on load 2 of 3 with the laundry. Once the first 2 dry I will do the ironing tonight.

I expect to blog more in July, I have made a goal to be more proactive with my blog and YouTube channels so here's hoping I can fulfill my goal.

A review of the first week with my new cleaning schedule.

As the title suggests this short post is to review my first week with the cleaning schedule.

I can confirm that everyday except Tuesday I followed the daily cleaning. As for the weekly schedule that was a complete fail. I deep cleaned the bathroom but that''s about it. 

Today is June 1 and I plan to ensure that I follow the full schedule from here on out. I have planned out the weeks of June below.

Thanks for reading, I'll see you with the next post.

The first day of the rest of my life!

I just wanted to start this blog off by introducing myself and to let you know what this blog will be about.

My name is Karen, I'm 27 and I'm from Ireland.

The purpose to this blog is to share with those reading, my journey from a lazy slob to an organised lady (hopefully).

We have just moved into a rented 2 bed apartment, we don't have much space but we have an awful  lot of belongings. We also have boxes and boxes of belongings stored at my in-laws that also need to find a place in our home if possible.

So above I called myself a lazy slob, to be perfectly honest that's a little harsh but lately I am totally unmotivated, I get up late, watch a lot of TV & YouTube and barely do enough to keep the house reasonably clean.

The reason for my lack of motivation is I have been unemployed for 18 months. In February 2013 thru June 2013 Rob & I travelled throughout Asia and it was the best experience of my life to date. After arriving back in Ireland I searched for a job but unfortunately I have yet to find one so as a results we are living off of Robs salary which is stretched thin every month (rent in Ireland is extremely high). In the past 3 months I find myself emotional, moody and slightly depressed. I hope having more organisation in my daily life will help immensely and I think creating a routine will help improve my mood each day.

This blog will be filled with a lot of to-do lists, pictures/posts of my unorganised life and hopefully pictures/posts of how I organised my life :) If that interests you please keep reading (your comments are also welcome) and following my journey.

My next post will my home tour, this will show you how my home looks before the changes happen.
