So I took on this challenge of getting my house super clean and clutter free in 6 weeks, greener too.
So far I feel I have done well.
We still have a plenitude of boxes in the garage to sort through, but the main part of the house has been cleaned and kept clean for a week. I know what you are saying, A WEEK?? but keep in mind-I have a newborn, and a toddler who demands a lot of my time. I also feel it is important to take care of my family. So a week can be hard with all the little side projects going on.
My trick is to pick one thing to work on; toilets, windows, floors, or whatever, then I spend 15-20 minutes working on that thing when I have the time; and I do at least once a day.
Then after everyone is tucked in for the night, I straighten up the house to prepare for the onslaught of toys and dishes that will present themselves the next day.
I feel so much better when the house isn't all cluttered. I have more energy as well.
I still have a lot to do, but if I concentrate on one small task a few times a day, then I don't feel as overwhelmed.
I am in week 3 of my challenge, so stay posted for updates..and hints, maybe some ideas from readers too...one challenge I feel totally up to.
The next challenge is the 20 lbs I plan to lose by my 37 th birthday this year.And not just lose the weight but get fit too, I want my prebaby (or babies as the case may be) belly back.
One step at a time!!
