Tackle It Thursday – Getting Organized

Getting Organized this Summer:
In your home and homeschool

 

Pick something to declutter today that you have been avoiding. Yes, I know you have something you have been putting off. Maybe it’s a stack of bills or paperwork. Maybe it’s laundry piled in the floor or on your bed. Maybe it’s a box or bag that needs to be donated, and you can’t bring yourself to let it go. Today’s the day! Let’s tackle it and move on!

 

Set your timer for 15 minutes for the Home Assignment and 15 minutes for the School Assignment

 

Home:

  • Make Your Bed (Do this as soon as you get up.)
  • Get Dressed Down to Your Shoes
  • Swish and Swipe
  • Start Your Laundry
  • Decide on Dinner
  • Check Your Calendar
  • Start the Day off with a Shiny Sink. Don’t leave the breakfast dishes sitting.

School:

  • Put away the school supplies you bought yesterday.Don’t let them sit around in the bag you brought them home in.

Afternoon Routine:

  • Eat Lunch
  • Clear off One Hot Spot
  • Reboot the Laundry
  • Declutter for 15 Minutes (Be sure to have your children declutter, too.)
  • Drink Your Water
  • Zone Focus: Master Bath: Wipe down the shower walls and doors, if you have one.
  • Declutter in another room of your choice for 15 minutes. If you have a junk room, use this as an opportunity to do some decluttering in there.

Family Fun: Plan a fun activity while you are out. Stop for ice cream or slushies.

Before Bed: (This starts right after dinner.) 

  • Check the Calendar for Tomorrow
  • Lay out Your Clothes for Tomorrow (Have your children lay their clothes out, too.)
  • Put things at your launch pad
  • Shine Your Sink
