~*~ Autumn Home Blessing Challenge ~*~ Points thread, Week 2

Earthmummy07 · 10-08-2016, 03:25 AM

Welcome to WEEK 2 of the Autumn HBC!

Newbies read here!

Find the points list here - Please note the updates- you'll be cheating yourself out of points if you use the old list

I've also moved things around the make it more user friendly

I will start a separate thread where we can add our to do lists each day and run the 5 minute challenges (See how much you can accomplish with a 5minute timer).

If anybody has any comments or ideas please let me know

I want this to work for everybody who wants to take part.
Have fun everyone!

Each week of the HBC runs Saturday to Friday. Below you will find a list of household tasks with points assigned to them. You can post below to save your 'spot' and keep updating your post with your scores for each day. At the end of the week, add up your scores and post them in bold ( [b ] You text here [/b ] without the spaces) at the bottom of your post. Pick out up to 2 new habits that you would like to get into, and figure out your 3 hotspots. Your hotspots are the areas of your house that tend to accumulate mess (for example mine are my desk, a certain corner of my kitchen counter, and a side table) At the end of each week, I'll announce the weekly winner. You get the privilege of adding "Winner of the Week x home blessing challenge" to your siggy if you so desire At the end of the seasonal challenge, I will announce the over all winner. These threads are meant to be uplifting and encouraging. They are not for beating yourself up if you haven't accomplished as much as somebody else. Every one of us is in a different stage in life, with different kids, different health and different circumstances. If you are struggling, feel free to just compete with yourself Most ladies find the easiest way to keep track is to print out the list and use a tally system in different colours as they go through their day, but run with whatever works for you Find the points list here - Please note the updates- you'll be cheating yourself out of points if you use the old list I've also moved things around the make it more user friendly Daily Chores: Spiritual/Emotional 10 Min Quiet Time - 10 minutes of what ever sustains you spiritually.
