The problem is, I tend to overestimate my energy levels when I tackle step 1 (wash) so that when I'm done with step 2 (dry), I realize I have not budgeted enough energy for step 3 (put-it-away-dammit).

Learning to work compassionately with the self I have is... a process.

@Katie Same here, every year! Doing less all around kept the depression nest from accumulating quite so much this year, but I'm still putting in some extra cleaning rounds to enter the new year fresher.

I'm not putting the burden of "cleaning the whole house" on myself anymore, though; I know that would set me up for guilt. I set the goal of cleaning "something" every day this week, letting the actual thing be flexible.

Are you familiar with #TeamUFYH? It's helped me a LOT.
