Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Let’s spend 15 minutes decluttering in one room in the house. Since it is also anti-procrastination day, pick a room or area that you have been avoiding. Set the timer for 15 minutes and grab and go. Don’t obsess. Don’t try to do it all. Just grab what you know can be given away or thrown away. If you keep chipping away at it like this, you will get it done over time. Include your kids if it is a space that has a lot of their toys and stuff. If you are drowning in toys, let your kids organize a yard sale this summer. Their reward can come from their yard sale proceeds.
