spend at least 10 minutes every day cleaning, organizing or decluttering

Today, I cleaned out a basket in my living room that is meant for books and craft projects, but somehow manages to accumulate a lot of other junk.

I’ve also been slowly clearing school related stuff off the table and putting it away since I am almost done with school for awhile.

Most days I just declutter the kitchen and living room, so they will stay relatively clean.

Maybe there really is something to “spring cleaning”. I just feel like getting rid of stuff I don’t need and being more organized.

I changed from “Declutter my House” because it just seemed so overwhelming, but this goal keeps my little house fairly neat in reasonable amounts of cleaning time.

When I think about it, I have done something for at least 10 minutes most days!

...of declutter my house to this. I wasn’t spending much time on the other goal, but I know I can do 10 minutes a day. I need a more concrete defined goal where I will actually do something.

Don’t worry subscribers, I won’t write boring details of my decluttering daily, just occasionally.

I went through a whole bunch of junk mail yesterday that had been piling up in several areas.

Clutter seems to bother me more sometimes and I go on these cleaning sprees. Last Friday, I decluttered the table in the dining room, which we rarely eat at, but that gets used for various other things. It tends to collect “stuff”, and I put most of that “stuff” back where it really belongs. What’s left are the things that are used daily at this table.

Our laundry room also had piles of clothes in it needing to be folded or hung and put away. The winter stuff got stored in closets. Stuff that doesn’t fit or that we no longer wear was set aside to give away.

I spent about 2 hours working on straightening up the spare bedroom the other day. The room itself looks good, but the closet is awful. I’ll work on it next time I get in ultra-cleaning mode.

I cleaned the living room and kitchen and they look so nice and neat.

My computer table is cluttering up again and I really need to take care of that.

I just got rid of a big stack of catalogs that I don’t need to be ordering from anyway. I also shredded a bunch of junk mail that had accumulated.

I think when the semester ends in about a week, I will systematically go through drawers, baskets and cabinets and get rid of things that way.

I will take out a couple of things to the trash.
