Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Today’s mission is going to challenge you. You are going to use your timer for 15 minutes, and then you are going to STOP. This way you can’t drag out too much stuff. You will likely have to do this same mission again another day, but I want you to see that you can make progress in 15 minutes and not get burned out. When you finish this mission, I want you to do something for yourself that you enjoy. You are going to reward and pamper yourself today.
Are you ready for your mission? Today, we are going to spend 15 minutes decluttering the pantry in the kitchen. This is one of those projects that can quickly escalate, so the key is to do one area at a time and not pull out more than you can put back in 15 minutes. You will want to toss those food items that are stale or have passed their expiration dates, so have a trash can handy. You can also have a box near you to put in items that you can donate to a food pantry. They often need food items this time of year because people slow down on giving and donating after Christmas has passed. As you clear off a shelf, wipe it down. Put items back in a logical order. This will help you when you make your grocery list.
If you have any questions or tips, please email me. I enjoy hearing from my readers.
