Keep my place clean

My goal is to keep my place clean on an regular basis such that I can feel comfortable bringing in a guest at any time.

I’ve create a new calendar on Google Cal and added the following items so that I will drag-and-drop to different days to avoid doing everything at once and performing each funtion every week or so.

So far, I have the following items on my calendar:

1) Clean Bathroom
2) Clean Kitchen
3) Do Laundry
4) Dust
5) Mop Kitchen and Bathroom Floors
6) Wipe Walls
7) Clean Bathtub
8) Paint Touch-ups
9) Sell/Donate Items

More to be added if I can think of anything.

Also, I want to dedicate at least 20 minutes every day to cleaning or organizing something.

The intent of this goal is to be ongoing, so there’s no intention to click on the “I’m done” button.

i was doing so well with this and then…POOF! a disaster all over my apartment. damn! i picked up a tiny bit last night & it already looked so much better. why do i forget that? that feeling of looking around me and loving what it looks like.

tonight i am cleaning my kitchen.

once i got home i dusted then swept my place (all tile). this morning i woke up early and did some dishes, cleaned my stove, and MADE MY BED!!!!!!! i haven’t done that since i was…i have no idea, but it is definitely something i do not do. i’m loving this!

right when i walked through my front door i took out the garbage. whoohoo! then i did my dishes and picked up a little around my place. it actually felt much better than just plopping myself on my bed for an hour. a success. i have a few friends coming over tonight, so i will make my bed and probably dust and clean the floors before they come by. when i woke up this morning i thought ‘wow, my place looks pretty darn good’. that was a fantastic thing to wake up to.

ah, yes…cleanliness. i think i am referring to organization, less clutter, less stuff in general. i do let some things get out-of-hand. dishes. i hate doing dishes, but when the sink is full of them it grosses me out. my car. everything about my car. hmmm…maybe i’ll try to go for a certain number of days doing little things everyday to help aide this goal. 30 days of cleanliness. haha – that’ll work.

tonight – when i get home and change i will NOT throw my clothes and shoes all over. i will put them in their appropriate spot. i will also finish cleaning my kitchen. take out some garbage.

make my bed everyday, no cloths on the floor, Iron my clothes, keep my car clean ..inside and out.
