This kitchen counter drives me crazy with all the STUFF.
There is a reason. Each item is a JOB to do. I came home with food for the week, and still had a lot to do before I could dive onto the Chromebook and chat with all of you.
I decided to leave clues on the counter of things I had to do.
I sat down and chatted,
removed sheets from washer, put sheets in dryer
sat to chat
Put sheets on bed.
sat to chat
and did one clue from the above counter.
The bags needed to be folded and placed under the bags in the two small trash cans in the bathrooms
sat to chat
the box in front of the stored popcorn is Combat Roach Bait thingies to place in kitchen drawers.
sat to chat
the 5 pill boxes to be filled with pills for the week, 2 for Bob, 2 for me, 1 for Beau
sat to chat
Micro Zap the 2 sweet potatoes, one for me, one for Beau
See where I am going with this?
It seems I am sitting still way too much.
this is my new THING.
Play and chat,
do a little of that.
Lots of breaks,
That's all it takes.
Jobs are done,
I am on the run
And all the chores are done, done, done

This is just what the P.T. and health pros tell ME! Do not sit longer than 20 minutes at a time, get up and down. You have NAILED it!
it is a good way to sit and chat between the things we have to do... I have to learn this new way, because I follow still the old rules with doing everything at the same time what ends in chaos ;O)))
Some of those things would still be sitting there days later- and be joined by others.
Good for you!
Hubby and I tend to be active in the mornings and then rest in the afternoons but between doing the chores and necessary stuff such as taking our medications we take breaks too. Glad that you're finding a balance in your routine - that's good!

Yeah, I need to be moving more, of this, there is no doubt... YAM xx
This is what I keep trying to get myself to do. I sit way too much once I get home and even more on my days off. I need to start getting things done around here. I think you have the perfect balance there.
Excellent routine.
Hello,
I have my routines too, things get done. Then I can do some blogging or reading. It is good to move more often. Take care, have a great day!
Want to come do mine?
That works! You're working smarter, not harder.
I've been trying to do something similar and break up my reads in groups of 3. Of course there are 'those' days I get sucked into the rabbit hole and find it difficult to get up off this chair. Oh the perils of retirement. Ha!
I never quite get to the done part! But we leave clues and then forget what they are for! lol I don't like anything on the counter but hubby does so I'd rather have the clutter and the hubby than everything put away! Hugs!
In some ways we are so much alike it is not even funny! My cabinets are like yours, I work like you - lol
Routines are good as is the getting up and down. I'm afraid I tend to spend too much time plowing through all my blogging and email stuff.
There are several things I MUST do today and I just keep putting them off...I am really bad...it will get done eventually but I try not to get my panties in a bunch over it..(:0)

I try not to sit too long and must admit that buying an Apple watch has really made a difference in letting me know that I should move at least once an hour. It will emit a stand reminder, which got to be really annoying, so I turned it off, yet have still managed to meet my daily goal of standing at least 1X in 8 hours and usually beat that number. It was fun reading about how you multi-task, Sandra.
Smart girl!! I try to do the same thing...a little sitting and a little keeping busy around the house!
Mom says she would love to have 20 minutes to sit down, but that doesn't usually happen until after dinner. There is ALWAYS someting else to do:)
Now she is doing blogs and she is standing:)

I know from you that we need to move often so I try hard to do that each day. I just made some sweet potatoes the other day. They are so good. Those pill cases seem to be never ending in needing to be refilled.
Balance in everything is awesome! I am still looking for mine.....
Loved, loved this post. Alas, it did not make me get up and do even one tiny chore. Oops n it did make me laugh so hard I realized a potty break is a must!! Bye!
Good to keep getting up and going. I was told after an hour move around some.
