I like to think of a few small things I want to do around the house every month.
I thought it would inspire and motivate you to also think up a few things and tackle one small thing every week.
This is how you purposefully create a sanctuary at home. By making decluttering and organising a regular, and not just a once-off event.
For Feb my tasks are:
- Weed out the shoe organiser behind the door in the study.
- Declutter books.
- Take the gazillion discs to the computer place and get them to transfer everything onto my external hard drive (they only charge R200 for all that!)
- Errands – drop off baby clothes at the hospital, return friend’s necklace and get together with friend (Maddy!!!) to give baby gift for 2-month-old 🙂
What are your 4 organising to-dos for Feb?
P.S. If you’re ready for about 1.5 – 2 hours’ organising over a whole week, have a look at organising your home
Kids rooms. Toy boxes and cupboards etc. And I want to find ways to maximize the space in those rooms.
1. Finally moving my boxes of holiday decorations into garage storage.
2. Actually donating identified former clutter instead of merely storing it in garage.
Getting these two jobs done would make me (and my husband) very happy!
Alison, that sounds fantastic and just imagine, a happy husband will do some of that honey-do list 🙂
I couldn’t agree more. I work full-time and have two little ones. It’s the only way I am able to get anything done. I hate that I can’t do it the way I used to but I have learned to change my ways : )
