Last night I watched the last three episodes of "Frontier House". It was a reality show PBS did a few years ago that put three modern families out in Montana to live the homesteader experience. I LOVE these kinds of shows (if you ever hear of them filming one again please let me know!). I've always been inspired by the pioneer spirit. They worked incredibly hard. I've always wanted to be like that.
So I've come up with a way to do it . . . kindof. This morning I set my alarm clock on my phone to ring at sunrise (6:11am) with a rooster crow. LOL! I decided that my morning run would be like "feeding the animals and milking the cows"- something you do first thing in the morning before you have time to really wake up. You don't want to do it, but it just has to be done. I'm going to pretend other things I do in the day are the same type of thing--checking my emails and writing cover letters will be like "reading the newspaper and writing my correspondence", writing in this blog is like writing a diary, and of course cleaning, cooking, and working in my garden are all the same. Oh, and clearing out my clutter is my "sewing" because it's detailed but you don't really have to think about it. Haha. I've also decided to give up TV as much as I can. I've been zoning out in front of it way too much and I think it's affecting my sleep . . . not to mention my productivity!
So, like all my ideas, we'll see how long this lasts. But I really want to be a pioneer woman, so hopefully this idea will keep me motivated!
