It's overwhelming all the "stuff" in the house. I sat down with my calendar one day and decided I needed to break it down into manageable chunks. I took one room a week (sometimes 2 weeks for the larger projects) that I would declutter 15 minutes per day in that room and then deep clean (dust baseboards, ceiling fans, California blinds, windows and screens, etc.). So far it is going really well. I started at the front, top floor room and went down ward accordingly.Thus far I have completed ...
- Master bathroom
- Master bedroom & closet
- Upstairs Hallway (including linen closet)
- Kids bathroom
- Travis's bedroom
- Ava's bedroom
- Upstairs stairwell
- Laundry room
- Main bathroom
- Hall closet
- Family Room
- Dining Room
This week I am to do the kitchen. I am procrastinating this project big time as it is the biggest so far. I just have to remind myself to breathe, start, and if I can only achieve 15 minutes at a time then that is all that will get done (it will be more than if I didn't do anything, right?!).
To do ...
- Downstairs Hallway
- Office
- Play room
- Furnace room
i notice that, you need to add to your to-do list...my house. ok? thnx. buhbye!

Great idea. I am putting off a project much the same as this. I know it should be done, but I'd prefer not to have to do it!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't done the kitchen and it's Sunday ... good thing I gave myself two weeks to get motivated!
