Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Happy May 1st! As we start a new month, we have a new habit to practice as a part of the FlyLady system. In May, we practice moving our bodies. Movement can also involve other things. We can work to add movement, drink water, and eat healthy to move a little weight off our bodies.
We can also move toward getting more clutter out of our homes. In talking to many ladies, I realize that many of you are good at packing up boxes and moving things to your storage area. In May, let’s work toward moving the clutter out of our homes by either throwing it away or giving it away.
As you are moving clutter out of your home, you will be increasing your movement. Each time you declutter, take the giveaway items straight to your vehicle. If you are dealing with items you are throwing away, take the bag out to the trash can. Don’t pile these up in your home or storage area.
If you have a lot of paper clutter to get rid of, I want to challenge you to weigh it as you fling it. Email me and tell me how much you have gotten rid of. If you let go of books, let me know about that, too. Paper and books are a big source of clutter for those of us who homeschool.
What are some things you want to get moving on this month? Let’s get MOVING in May! Keep track of how much you declutter.
Next week, I will be at the Teach Them Diligently conference in Atlanta, GA, with The FlyLady. If you are within driving distance, come see us! We will both be speaking on topics to encourage you.
Your Zone Mission today is to declutter The Front Porch for 15 minutes.
Your Home Blessing for today is to wash sheets.
My menu plan for Monday is hamburgers and salad.
Have a great day!
