Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Your mission today is to do a 15-Minute Room Rescue. Set your timer for this. Pick a room in your house that needs a quick declutter session. Get out your FlyLady Declutter Kit, if you have one. If not, get three boxes and have one for give away, one for throw away, and one for put away. Turn on some music and have fun making the room look better. If you have homeschool materials stacked somewhere in the house, use this time to deal with it. As homeschoolers, we have a lot of papers and materials. It’s coming close to the end of the year, and it is time to sort it out. A lot of it is trash or can be recycled. Some of it can be passed on to someone else, and the smallest amount of it can be put away for another child. Don’t hold on to materials that your youngest child has used. It is easier to decutter school materials at the end of the school year rather than the beginning of the school year.

First off I would like to say terrific blog! Ihad a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before wr&7ing.Ii#821t;ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thank you!
Thanks for your question. I usually spend a few minutes before my writing time doing a few things around the house to clear my head and start thinking about what I am writing about that day.
