A couple of tiny new habits have made a surprisingly large impact. I feel more joyful and balanced and at ease just by ensuring that I do the dishes nightly rather than after breakfast. I don't put it off because I know I'll be grateful for it in the morning. There is no feeling of completion after doing the dishes in the morning - in no time at all the benches will become home to new dishes and cutting boards and the juice Tom always forgets to put away. I never knew I cared until I changed the habit, but apparently I'm more of a Petunia Dursley than I'd like to admit. I've been watching TED talks while pulling apart cupboards and reorganising them. While I was in bed with the flu I spent a lot of my time dreaming up ways to make life simpler and the house more manageable so I've been working on a new area every day, just something small, and trying to make it more functional and get rid of the clutter.
