Stash and Dash Thursday – Getting Organized

Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool

When you find out someone is coming to your house, where do you stash things? Today, I want you to go to one of those areas and put the stuff where it belongs. If it does not give you joy, then purge the item. For many of you, your stash and dash place is in your bedroom. So set your timer on your phone for 15 minutes and hit one of those stashed piles. Don’t tear your whole room apart, just get one pile handled. I want you to have peace in your home in every room, and I want to help you hit some of these hot spots that are weighing you down. This counts as your zone work for the day.

Another tactic for deculuttering your home is to involve your children. Work on their habits with them. Teach them to clean up behind themselves. Teach them to care for their bedrooms. Teach them to cook. There are so many life skills that you need to teach your children. Start now.

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