Sneak Peek for the Week

Someday 1 - 7, 2011

This week we are in Zone 4: The Master Bedroom

This month's Habit is: Swish and Swipe

Zone 5: Mission #1 Monday

Dear Friends,

Let's have a Fire Drill! Go get the hotspots cleared off in your Living Room and or Family Room! You know the piles that I am talking about. The ones that just grow and grow!! Put that fire out!

Take 10 minutes and put things away where they belong and toss the rest. Zone 5: Mission #2 Tuesday

Dear Friends:

Yesterday we went after the "hidden" clutter in the Living Room and the Family Room. Today you are going after the trash. Now you may think you have no trash in these rooms but look under the couch and the chairs. Lift up the cushions and check out what gets swallowed up in the couch. Check under the end tables and the coffee table. Set your timer for 15 minutes and grab a trash bag and start tossing. I bet you all will have time left to spare! Be careful not to lift things that are too heavy and awkward on your mission. Ask for help if you need it! Zone 1 Mission #1 Wednesday

Dear Friends,

We are headed into the dining room today, it is anti-procrastination day. Your mission for today is to spend 15 minutes decluttering your dining room. It does not matter what you get rid of, just get rid of anything that does not belong in the dining room. Once again start with a trash bag and toss, toss, toss! If you still have time, then grab things that need to be put away and do that. Set your timer and don't overwhelm yourself. This is all about babysteps. Zone 1 Mission #2 Thursday

Dear Friends:

We are in Zone 1 the rest of this week! This Zone includes the Entrance, Front Porch and the Dining Room. Your mission for today is to take 10 minutes to get rid of the hotspots that gather in this area. The junk mail, newspapers, shoes, jackets etc, that seem to get stuck in a holding pattern when you set them down and plan to get back to them. It is amazing how inviting the entrance area can be when there is not a bunch of STUFF everywhere. Grab a trash bag first and toss what can be tossed. Then grab the jackets and shoes and deliver them to their homes. I promise this makes a huge difference! Zone 1 Mission #3 Friday

Dear Friends,

We are still going to work in the dining room today. Take 15 minutes and work some more on your de-cluttering as we did Wednesday. Once again toss anything that can be tossed and put away anything that can be put away. We are working towards the dining room being a dining room and not a storage and pile up area. Keep reminding yourself that you are going to change your home 15 minutes at a time.
