Declutter Calendar Update


Do you remember that
we talked about?

If it has already taken a back seat to other, more pressing priorities, try again!  Tomorrow is March 1st, and getting back on track towards Getting it All Together is a great way to begin the new month.  

This calendar is great because it’s easy and you only need to take baby steps.  There’s nothing too complex or involved that should take up your whole day.  (whew!)
  
Examples:
  • Monday-      Set up a donation station - I love that this is first!  This way you're prepared for future    donations.  (A great idea from January’s calendar.) 
  • Tuesday-       Clean off one kitchen shelf  
  • Wednesday-  Clean off the left side of your desk 
  • Thursday-      Clean off the center of your desk
  • Friday-          Clean off the right side of your desk 
  • Saturday-       Label boxes in the storage area
  • Sunday-         Take a nap
Tomorrow’s job is to “declutter your end table in the living room or family room.”  

Don’t worry about starting with past challenges.  If you try to “retro-declutter”, you may overwhelm yourself and get discouraged.  Just start with today.  Then, if you feel up to it and have the time, go back and get ideas of other places to work on.  The important thing is to keep going— don’t stop.  

Keep your calendar where you can see it and be sure to give yourself a big, satisfying, red check-mark for a job well done. 

Have you started busting the clutter bug in your home?  Start today!
