Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Today’s mission is hard for a lot of people. It’s hard to get rid of clothes. We hang onto our clothes even if they don’t fit. Today, I want you to open your closet and pull out as many things as you can that do not fit. Put them in the box of stuff to be donated, and then put that box in your vehicle. Donate these items as soon as you run errands again this week. Don’t go back to the box and rescue things. Let it go. If you have children, ask them to bring you any clothes that do not fit. Get rid of those as appropriate as well.
Zone Mission: Closet clean out.
