Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Do you have a room in your house that looks like the picture above? Today, I want you to set your timer for 15 minutes and do a Room Rescue. Make piles or use boxes to sort things by things to throw away, put away, or give away. If it takes a couple of days, you can spend 15 minutes at a time sorting and decluttering. Turn on some fin music and make it a game with your kids.
Zone Mission: Declutter 1 Room in Your Home
Grocery Shopping and Errand Day – Take your list, pack snacks, and water bottles.

Grocery Shopping and Errand Day – Take your list, pack snacks, and water bottles.
Home:
- Make Your Bed (Do this as soon as you get up.)
- Get Dressed Down to Your Shoes
- Swish and Swipe
- Start Your Laundry
- Decide on Dinner
- Check Your Calendar
- Start the Day off with a Shiny Sink. Don’t leave the breakfast dishes sitting.
School: Are you doing a read aloud book for the whole family? If not, pick one out and read at lunch time or in the evening. It will bring a new dimension to your school day.
Afternoon Routine:
- Eat Lunch

- Errand day: Make your plan for grocery shopping and errands. Pack water bottles and snacks for everyone. Pack up your library books that need to be turned in.
Family Fun: Plan a fun activity while you are out. I am in the habit of checking for free activities that are going on while we are out doing errands.
When you get home from doing errands, have everyone work together to unload and put away everything.
Before Bed: (This starts right after dinner.)
- Check the Calendar for Tomorrow
- Lay out Your Clothes for Tomorrow (Have your children lay their clothes out, too.)
- Put things at the Launch Pad that you will need first thing in the morning
