FIRST STEPS IN ORGANIZING

Get your Lists ready, know what areas you want to organize and which ones bother you the most. You must remember, that ORGANIZING means just that....ORGANIZING! It doesn't mean that your house is going to be spotless or that you never have to do anything again and it will stay that way. You are going to get rid of the clutter and put everything in a 'home', so that you always know where it is and can find it at a moments notice.  These steps will show you how to get organized now in a easy to follow checklist format. Get rid of that messy house that is full of clutter and get organized the easy way and it will help you to organize your life.                                                                                                  

Start with "Baby Steps", just like when you learn anything else that is new. One thing at a time, start with small projects so you will be able to see how remarkably easy ORGANIZING can be!

It would be a good time to order your FREE Pamphlets

'50 Things That Only Take 10 Minutes Each To Do', 50 Cleaning Shortcuts and 10 GuiltBusters for Momsyou will really see FAST accomplishments that you will be proud of.

Okay, ATTACK that; 'TODAYS TO DO LIST", only you are just going to do '1' thing on it, and another one for tomorrow and another and another as the days go by. At the end of the week (Monday-Friday) you will have 5 things done that you haven't done in a long time, plus you will have kept up with all of the weekly have to's.

WEEKLY HAVE TO"S

  • Dust the Furniture, Pictures etc.--go right around the house, from room to room
  • Wash all of the mirrors and wipe the glassware--in all the rooms
  • Wash the sinks, tub and toilet
  • Sweep all of the floors without carpeting
  • Vacuum all the carpeting (get the picture now?)
  • Take out all of the garbage to the garbage can
  • Put out new air fresheners (if needed)
  • Spray Fabreeze throughout the house and on carpeting and furniture
  • Go to the Grocery Store
  • File your receipts, papers and pay bills for the week

SHORTCUTS YOU DIDN'T THINK OF

  • Keep disposable glass wipes in the bathroom and wipe over everything after your shower
  • Keep a calendar of when the bills are due and send them out weekly
  • Have someone sweep the kitchen after the dishes are done
  • Wipe the counters, microwave, stove,and refrigerator after dishes, you have 1/2 the cleaning in that room done for the week
  • Keep a small broom and dustpan in the bathroom cabinet and sweep after you comb your hair
