WEEK FOUR - Invitation Welcome to the Our Weekly Invitation Thread #BecomeAVictoryLadyAutumn2021 for 17-23 October 2021. THIS WEEK'S FOCUS: START LAUNDRY & SEE IT THROUGH Did you create your menu??? Did you rise early and feed your soul? Did you shower, groom, and make your bed? My why for cleaning laundry: I like the smell, feel, and look of clean neat clothes. I feel more comfortable when my clothes are clean and do not smell. I like the feel when they are smooth, rather than rumpled. When I start laundry, it can wash while I am doing something else. If I set a timer, I can switch the load and start another. When the timer goes off, stopping to fold and put away only takes minutes. When I take the clothes and put them where they belong, properly folded and in the drawer, or hung up in the closet, the clothes are less likely to end on the floor and back in the hamper. When I tend to do laundry promptly, it does not pile up, it does not cause clothes to look all wrinkled, and there are fewer things to iron. In short, it reduces my workload. If you have children call a folding party. Even little hands can be taught how to smoothly fold laundry or properly hang it up. Then walk them to their rooms and see to it the clean folded and hung laundry, get put away properly. Help them gain the habit of putting clean clothes away, by walking with them and overseeing their follow-through. When I know I am going to be on the run, I put a load of laundry, such as towels or socks and underwear in a load before bed. I can switch the load and start a load before breakfast. I also do my best to not schedule out of the house demands in the mornings. I push appointments, shopping, errands to after lunch, mid-afternoon if possible. Sometimes it cannot be helped. but I try to be in control of my schedule. So, with laundry, it really is best to keep it in motion until it rests in the proper place of closets and drawers. __________________________________________ This thread is for this week only, as I will be posting a thread each week. You may focus on one habit routine at a time, or you can work to build a routine of all the habits at the same time. Do whatever works best for you! Just know, if you do one habit at a time it will take longer than 60 days, which is fine if it works for you. WEEKLY INVITATION 1. Menu, plan A, and plan B. DAILY INVITATION 2. Rise early and feed your soul! Pray and study His word. 3. Shower, groom, and make the bed. 4. Gather, start laundry and follow it through. 5. Get a great breakfast, dinner prep, and do dishes. 6.

However, it can be helpful to have "sisters in the journey" you can report here each day in the day's thread. 4. If you mess up, just get up, brush yourself off, and get moving forward. 5. No social media during the essentials. Don't slow yourself down with net surfing and net socializing. 6. Enjoy the journey! #BecomeAVictoryLadyAutumn2021
