Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Today we are going to tackle the closet in the bathroom. If you don’t have one, you can work on your linen closet. Set your timer for 15 minutes. Start with the top shelf and work your way down as far as you can get in 15 minutes. Toss linens or towels that are beyond usefulness. You might designate some as clean up rags. You also might find linens that you are saving for a special occasion. Wash them and start using them. You ARE special. Decide if there are items in the closet that you no longer use but are good enough to donate. Organize items with similar items. Don’t spend hours doing this project. This is to be short and sweet.
