I think to keep this manageable for me, I'm going to post weekly (maybe more if I'm so inclined). I want to get in the habit of posting weekly so that I really do journal my way around this word for the year.
Some of the things I've been doing this week involve Meal Planning, organizing and general pick up of the main living area. I've been trying to keep on top of the dishes, and countertops in the kitchen. I've also decided that I'm going to clean all the sinks in the house every other day. This helps cut down on what needs to be cleaned weekly. (Especially the kids sink with all the toothpaste)
I've been telling the kids, that they need to pick up and find a home for at least 5 things 1 to 2 times a day. I'll do this as long as it takes to get the clutter organized.
The room I want to declutter next is the kitchen. I'm starting there because it's a main room, and also because I think it will be the easiest room to start with. I still need to get the Christmas decorations away. But that will happen, I'm not concerned.
I feel that I bit off more than I can chew with this word. Although I do have to remind myself that I have all year. I need to start with the basics. Meal Planning, Calendar upkeep, DeClutter and Cleaning processes. After the basics, we can start on detailed cleaning and organization, maybe even furniture and design. This all depends on how long it takes me to get the basics down. One room at a time, one process at a time, small steps will result in big accomplishments. If I try to do too much all at once I'm just setting myself up to fail. I need to focus on a smaller picture to find success (no matter how small it will still be success).
I took some photos this past week. Although they are on my other computer, so.... for the time being, it's only a text update.
