Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Take a look around your house. Is there a room that needs a quick Room Rescue? Hopefully, you have the Holiday stuff put away now, but you could have some boxes and Holiday items that need to be put away. It’s getting cold in most areas of the country, you might have a pile of winter clothes and outer wear that needs attention. You might have school stuff that needs to be put away. Your children may have rooms that need rescuing. The point is that most of us have a room that gets neglected or is a high-use room. Today, I want you to set your timer and do a quick 15-minute room rescue. You will feel better once you do it. Include your children, and you get bonus time! Do the math, if one of you works for 15 minutes, you get 15 minutes of work. If two of you work together, you are getting 30 minutes’ worth of work in the same 15 minutes. When we have a team project in our home, we can have 4 to 6 people working at a time. That is like an hour or hour and a half for one person. Turn on some music to make it fun!
