Clutter Be Gone

Perhaps it is an early onset of Spring fever
but I am ready for some major
 
While I am one who loves a good, big snow storm...
the weather we have been having makes me eager for spring.
 
I am sitting here wanting to take the house apart...
top to bottom, side to side, inside and out. 
Clean out, re-do, then put it back together.  

I get these urges from time to time and
it is senseless to fight it. 
So the plan is to go through the house
little by little and do just that.

Create three groups/piles...
throw away, donate, and sell.
 
Clutter drives me crazy and
after awhile I just can't take it any more. 
 
It is amazing how much stuff you accumulate over time. 


Feel overwhelmed or think you just don't have the time. 
Everyday you can accomplish something. 

Throw away the junk mail as soon as in comes through the door. 
File the bills and statements.

Did you go shopping? 
Put the items away as soon as you get home.

Clean out that kitchen drawer that catches everything
while you are cooking dinner. 

Putting laundry away? 
Take just a few extra minutes to straighten and
organize the closet or cabinet.
On and on we could go.

Take it one spot at a time and stick with it until it is done. 
It is easy to become distracted.  You are working on an area and find something that belongs in another room.  So you go to put it away and next thing you know you find a bunch of stuff to work on in that room.  However you haven't finished either job.  If you do find something that belongs elsewhere then simply lay it aside until you are done with the current task.  Then go and put it away. 

My mission this week...
Clutter Be Gone!!
