Only a few days left until Christmas and I have a lot on my mind!
There’s a little bit of panic going on. As usual, there’s a disaster here, unlike a few years ago when I had done major decluttering. However, I’m not completely freaking out this year because I know that underneath this mess, there’s hope.
My plan for the next five days is this:
- One day for the kitchen
- One day for the dining room and bathroom
- Two days for the living room
- One day for making some cookies
It helps tremendously that I took off for the next week. If I hadn’t, then it would be an all out freak show here but I’m staying calm. I’m enjoying the kids being home and I have a plan in place.
Make sure to take some time for yourself this next week!
Besides getting these rooms cleaned up, I’m still working on decluttering three to six things every hour. Today, since I’m working on the kitchen, I decided that’s where I was going to declutter exclusively. I’m making myself get rid of things out of each cabinet, counter, and the refrigerator.
Since we did such a thorough job in the kitchen this summer, it’s actually a little harder than I thought it was going to be. But, as you know, you can always find things to get rid of!
I’m also making some plans for digital decluttering in the evenings when I don’t feel like doing anymore physical work. All of my devices are full! There’s nothing more irritating than going to take a picture and getting that Storage Full message.
This is also on my mind right now. Do you know of any good decluttering challenges or sites?
After we get through Christmas and get started in the new year, I want to try some online decluttering challenges. If you know of any good ones, or any good sites, could you please let me know what they are in the comments? I’d love to give one a try each month!
