It was fun to tweet about cleaning and having other people encourage me either outright or via some creative means (eg. @NickDevious said he'd tell on me if I watched the Olympics instead of cleaning!). I think we're really onto something here. Kathy and I have talked about having a cleaning spree via Twitter, and just think of all the networking sites we could use to help make organizing and cleaning fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573453927586376787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438242048528610941.post-11767800989474597112010-02-23T23:56:27.859-07:002010-02-23T23:56:27.859-07:00I think interactive chores are much more enjoyable...I think interactive chores are much more enjoyable than doing things by oneself...Lisa, where are you?

I've been more aware of my triggers that lead to worry, etc. but am excited about this cool trigger that makes life much more enjoyable.<br /><br />So, I de-floorganized today since I had a coaching client into my office and now I've re-floorganized to pack for my trip tomorrow to Seattle. Hmm...here's a thought, how could I "play" as I pack?Wendy Balmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469335915186505079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438242048528610941.post-45956661312289035972010-02-20T21:06:18.061-07:002010-02-20T21:06:18.061-07:00Thank you, Leslie, for your encouragement.

Let us know how it goes!<br /><br />Thanks to you too, Kathy, for your inspiration! I'm sure we could invoke many Disney characters. You also named that the spontaneity is a huge piece of this kind of event. That said, I'll be looking for more opportunities such as this--perhaps we'll connect productively and creatively and, er, fun-ly via Twitter next?Brilliant Chaos Mavenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809926942198789453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438242048528610941.post-26035587343227859982010-02-20T18:24:54.801-07:002010-02-20T18:24:54.801-07:00Love this - and oh!

What a fun thing to do and I totally get it had to be in the moment. A regularly scheduled Friday clean up party, for example, would soon become tedious.
