Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
You are probably wondering why I am asking you to declutter the flat surfaces in your bedroom since I asked you to do that yesterday. Well, I know many of you have more clutter on your flat surfaces to deal with, and I also want you to count the bedroom floor as a flat surface. Today, I want you to deal with anything that is piled in your room on a flat surface, whether that be on furniture or on the floor. Work toward not using your bedroom as a the catch all place. Make places to put the things you want to keep. Give away the things you do not need any longer. You can make your bedroom a sanctuary and bless yourself with a peaceful bedroom.
Zone Mission: Declutter the flat surfaces in your bedroom.
