Decluttering Your Way to Peace – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

    

How are you doing with the Zone Missions each week? Even if you have not done any all month, you can jump in the week and start today. We are going to declutter and detail clean in our living rooms this week. The missions are short and sweet. I know as a homeschool mom you don’t have a lot of spare time to do a deep cleaning mission. I try to give you quick missions that will help you improve how your home looks. Think of it as getting the best bang for your buck using your timer and focusing your energy on a small mission at a time.

If your children tend to play in your living room, work on reminding them to pick up their things daily and put them away. This will help you keep your living room company-ready, or at least close enough that you can have your living room ready for company in 10 minutes or less.

The Habit of the Month with The FlyLady is to get rid of paper clutter. Spend 2 minutes a day getting rid of paper clutter. You can do this!
