Hot Spot Mission – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

 

 

Happy Friday! We all have a place or places in our homes that attract things to be put down. These are our Hot Spots. Each night, I deal with one of the hot spots in my kitchen. It’s my island in the kitchen where I do food prep. It’s a large, flat surface, and it attracts clutter like a flower attracts a bee. My evening routine has a 2-minute declutter mission each night to deal with the island. I am looking at it right now, and there are several things that I need to put away as soon as I finish this email. So I want you to figure out where you have a Hot Spot in your home. Each day I want you to spend 2 minutes dealing with it. Today, spend 15 minutes identifying the Hot Spots and deal with them 2 minutes at a time. By dealing with your Hot Spots daily, they won’t have time to get out of control. You want peace in your home, and this is one way to help you achieve that.

 

Have a great week-end!
If you have any questions or tips, please email me. I enjoy hearing from my readers.

    • Hi, Angela! If you follow my morning posts, you can clean your house in small steps. Establishing routines for cleaning and decluttering daily will help you have time to fit in the paperwork, gardening, and organizing photos.

      Have a great day! Tami
