I find it helpful to keep a some days especially for ritual jobs.
Monday is popular being the start of the week and still fresh in my mind!
A weekly ritual from now until Christmas is to "feed the cake" so on a Monday I unwrap it and trickle some scotch over the top and wrap it back up.
The other standard Monday ritual is my once a week high dose Vitamin D capsule.
Daily medication is much easier to remember but I'm glad I can just take one high dose capsule once a week. So Mondays it is!
Do you have Day Rituals?
Like a once a week clean of your wooden boards with salt and lemon juice...
Another day I set aside is Sunday for dog brushing otherwise the motivation to do this job is low. It is one job that I can't be slack about.
In the old days, there used to be a day set aside for washing and a day for ironing.
There was a day for bathing and a day for praying.
A day for beating rugs and a day for shopping.
Do you still hold some days special?
Monday is my ironing day, with a bit of blogging inbetween, of course!

Yes and the sweet little handkerchiefs embroidered with the chore for the day, I remember them aswell.
ReplyDeleteNo set days for activities here with shift work.
Your two sweet dogs sitting so obediently waiting for their groom.

ReplyDeleteSunday , for some reason , remains sheet-changing day , even though I've now retired .
ReplyDeleteBut I have a feeling that soon every day will become Leisurely Coffee and Crossword day !
Since I retired, my routines have changed, but I still do laundry on Friday and go to church on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could discipline myself for the ironing day!!
ReplyDeleteI love baking on Sunday.

I was hopeless at keeping houseplants until I won an African Violet in a raffle and it had a little note on it saying water once a week. It was Monday when I got it so Monday is always houseplant watering day - well I've only got Peace Lilies now but they seem to like it too.
