keep my house clean

Today is Anti-Procrastination Day and today we are going after the neglected areas of our living room/family room. Grab a feather duster or dust rag and go after the tops of door jambs, tops of pictures, moulding, windows, corners of the ceiling and the tops of your curtains.

OH my it is amazing at what gathers higher up! I happen to be rather short, so I often forget to look UP! LOL! Now do not get obsessed and start tearing the room apart. Just look up and dust! If you have something with a long handle it makes this easier. A tip for those of you with high (Cathedral)ceilings: get a telescopic painting pole. This is a pole that you put a paint roller in to paint walls and ceilings. You drop the handle of your feather duster in it, secure it with a strip of duct tape and start dusting away! You can get these poles in most home improvement stores. You can also use PVC pipe in the same manner.

did my flylady (declutter living room)
and did dishes (daily with flylady)
also put away stuff from my trip

• here I go for my 15 minutes…

We have a whole week in Zone 5! So, today you are going after the trash. Now you may think you have no trash in these rooms but look under the couch and the chairs. Lift up the cushions and check out what seems to magically get swallowed up in the couch. Check under the end tables and the coffee table. Set your timer for 15 minutes and grab a trash bag and start tossing. You will be surprised at how fast you can do this mission. I bet you all will have time left to spare!! Be careful not to lift things that are too heavy and awkward on your mission. Ask for help if you need it!

It is time to fling some socks and pantyhose today. You know that drawer that is full of old pantyhose and mismatched socks that you have held on to for reasons you don’t even know. It is time to go through and toss, toss, toss. Be good to yourself and let go of these things that are cluttering up your bedroom. Hidden in a drawer or not, it is still clutter. Take 15 minutes and toss, toss, toss!

I at least matched up a bunch of socks to bring on my trip….
tossing is harder for me…

also tidied my kitchen

just did my flylady routine—continued joy:

This week we are in the Master Bedroom. Today I want you to spend 15 minutes under your bed! LOL! Take this time to get the things out from under the bed that you have shoved under there during a mad stash and dash through the house. 15 minutes might not be enough, but for today, just try to put a dent in the stuff that you have put there. Things that just don’t belong. If you don’t have anything under your bed, then grab a vacuum cleaner or broom and get the dust bunnies that have been multiplying under there. Have fun with this, just 15 minutes, set you time and go go go!

OK! My first real “free day” for a while…

time to clean and get back on my flylady routine

Right now: 1 hour

10 minutes in each room….

been slammed… so have been off flylady

ummm
hope to get back on this week

still at it! determined to do FLYLADY.com until end of Janujary. I also have completed this one but I am going to de-clutter some other stuff in my bedroom.

This week, we have been tackling clutter in our bedrooms. So, today
we are going to clean off the nightstands!! Get the tissues, cups
and stuff that has piled up, toss and put away. The grab a
feather duster or dust rag and dust the surface. Place a
pretty candle or picture there. Something that is
new to that spot that you love to see.

Waking up and not seeing a pile of things on the nightstand and a pile
of clothes will make your morning a little brighter!

Keeping up on FLYLADY!

HEre is the fun task of the day!

Wednesday is Anti-procrastination Day. We are going to straighten
up the floor of your closet! NO! you are not going to put this off
again. The shoes are piling up and you can’t find two shoes that are
alike! Do you think you have too many shoes? While you are lining up
your shoes; pick two pair to give away or throw away. The next time
you are looking for the pair of shoes that match your outfit, you
will smile because you will be able to find them without getting
down on your hands and knees. This will put another smile on your
face and keep your hair from getting messed up!
