Well, if you're like me, you've seen the covers of the magazines talking about "Spring cleaning". But in South Florida who really feels that there's a change in the seasons and who really cares enough to feel exited about starting....Not me.
But...I know there's all these little things that needs to be done and also not so small things that could use some real spring cleaning. Like most of you, I also tell myself, I'll do that tomorrow or when I get a chance, but I always seem to be too busy.
As my mom used to say, "there's no time like the present", so lets start! But where to start....?
Day 1: First we're going to do what I call the "power walk". Let me explain: Do you ever walk into a room to grab something and notice that something does not work? But you're in a rush so you make that mental note "I need to fix this" but then you forget. And the next time you see it you remember and get annoyed but you keep forgetting. So we're going to walk throught each room of the house and write down everything that we think needs to be done on a notepad. No more forgetting! We're also going to think about what needs to be purchased to complete each project. Don't just put down the things that need cleaning. Don't forget to organize the junk drawer, checking the expiration dates on the pantry, maybe organize a file or two, the things that need to be repaired, etc...
30 min every day for 30 days. Who does not have at least 30min every day? I should be able to manage 30min. What about you? So grab a timer and a piece of paper, and lets get started!!
