As I sit down to write the menu for the week, I’m writing out my 4
weekly “to do” lists (personal tasks, blogging tasks, cleaning chores,
less common maintenance cleaning tasks). It’s helping me to accomplish
things that easily get pushed aside otherwise, even if I don’t get
them all checked off!
I organized my hall closet and my closet last week. Over the weekend I found am entertainment center that I’m repurposing as a closet organizer/shelving in the closet. What closets did you tackle?
This week’s maintenance chores in addition to daily functioning cleaning chores:
- Organize 2 closets (should take about an hour each – make quick
decisions by having an undecided box) while the kids are at school or
playing with their Daddy. - Pull everything out onto the bed or floor of that room.
- Throw trash/junk away.
- Box up items for garage sale that haven’t been used and I can’t see being used in the next year.
- Make use of tubs/crates turned on their sides for extra shelving and separators.
- Group like items to put back in the closet, keeping in mind Martha’s tips for item placement.
- 15 minutes daily tidy after the kids go to bed (I tend to do 30 mins one night and none the next, but it still works!)
See? Nothing too involved, just tasks that will help me stay on top of things at home instead of letting the week slip away from me because none of those things ever seem pressing enough to be done immediately.
What extra things are you working on this week?
