Today, we are going to detail dust the living room. This is a little more involved than your weekly dusting. But it still needs to be 15 minutes or less. If it takes longer than 15 minutes to detail dust the living room, you need to declutter your flat surfaces more. When I detail dust my living room, I do the ceiling fan, crown moulding at the top of each all, the baseboards, and the flat surfaces.
If you are doing the Holiday Missions, today I want you and your children to do a 27 Fling Boogie in the bedrooms. Same assignment as yesterday. Use boxes or bins labeled: Throw Away, Give Away, Put Away. This is your chance to make places for new Christmas presents, and it is also a great way to donate items before the end of the year. Anything in your Give Away box should be donated on or before December 31 for a tax deduction.
