Simple Organizing Tip

12/30/2019

1 Comment

 
I discovered this little technique several years ago and it has saved me a lot of wasted time. Whenever I bring something into my home like mail or a magazine that seems interesting but that I don't want to read right now, I put it into a "look at later" box. I never do look at that box later but on the last day of the year I go through everything and decide then whether to renew the contract or toss it. Funny thing is at that point I've lost interest so most everything does get tossed!

More Winter Prep Cleaning Ideas

12/16/2019

Think about winter. You're cooped up in your house with all the smells and dust that accumulate never getting a good airing out. So let's focus on some preventative measures for odor and dust:

Odor: Now is a good time to wash out all of your trash and garbage cans, especially in the kitchen.

Dust: Change your furnace filter, for one. And take a Saturday morning to get those out of the way places where dust builds up: behind the fridge (and on top), on top of kitchen countertops, couch cushions and under the couch, and closet floors for example.

That'll give you a good start to a fresher home environment in the coming months.

For bathrooms, have a cloth available--you can keep it under the sink--to do a quick wipe around the sink area every day after you wash and to wipe the mirror! It will keep your bathroom looking prim much longer.
