Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Happy Friday! Let’s work on decluttering in the basement or family room today. This is an often neglected area in our homes, and it can be a beautiful, usable space. Take a look around. What is taking up valuable space? What do you not use anymore? Get out your box to put items to donate and start throwing stuff in it. Set the timer for 15 minutes. I don’t want you doing this for hours on end. Make this a quick mission. If you have a lot of clutter to deal with, then come back to this after regularly during the week. By spending 5 to 15 minutes a day on this, you will get done, and you won’t be burned out at the end.
Have a great week-end!
If you have any questions or tips, please email me. I enjoy hearing from my readers.
