So far the newly-declutted schedule (see upthread) is working quite well.

It's not so much a list of rules for how I spend time, but a set of fences-- protecting my time-- within which I can take care of MY stuff along with stuff involving commitments with others. It's a boundary thing that allows me to keep a huge number of commitments in balance with self-care (including decluts of house and so forth).

And thus I must be patient with the amount of stuff piling up in the lR to sort and purge, clean and put away, as I continue the movement thru and from the shared spaces into the LR/DR and up to the really-private-for-now spaces.

Some haste is required-- we have just a few precious days of Indian Summer till the cold descends and calls the tune. That means getting the last few things stowed in the camper and getting it up on its blocks before snow buries the tires and camper in inaccessible drifts. (Bye, camper, it was fun! Sleep well!)
