✨️ Mel's Sunday Shift Easter Edition

🧠 Reflection

Happy Easter, everyone.

Last week I reflected on how having clear surfacesreduces low-grade stress. I feel good when I don't see clutter, so I'm working on the systems.

It made me realize that most things come down to boundaries, communication, and clear expectations — such as children's tasks, what it looks like when we're done eating, and where the plate goes. This reinforces everyone working together as a team.

I'm really liking this because moving forward is also teamwork. I think I'm underestimating what my kids can do at their age; it's a slow, gradual improvement. I want to continue on that journey and see how it progresses.

Whenever there is change, there's a bit of resistance, so I want to stay mindful of that.

I'm focusing on the areas that become drop zones or disaster zones because there's probably a system I need to explore. One example I can name off the top of my head is kids' paperwork and artwork. If you have an amazing solution for that, I'd love to hear it.

I'm currently in the noticing phase.

✅ Good / Better / Best Goals

My goal is to make a house that resets easily a baseline default in our home.

- Good: noticing where the bottlenecks occur.

- Better: thinking about them and doing some research.

- Best: implementing systemic changes for the biggest bottlenecks.

🎯 Intentions for This Week

→ Continue working on the systems so the house resets easily.

→ Stay mindful of the resistance that comes with change.

→ Focus on the drop zones and disaster zones and explore what system might be missing.

→ Keep noticing what my kids can actually do at their age and let that progress gradually.
