I hope you had a great first day of organizing.
Now…let’s get back to work!
Choose only one option, set your timer, turn off all distractions, and get to organizing!
Option 1: Organize your DVDs/CDs
I have all of our CD’s in a book like the one pictured above. When I asked my hubby if I could do the same to all of our DVD’s, he about fainted. Apparently he likes the covers A LOT! So scratch that idea, but I do have them organized by categories. We keep our movies downstairs in the Kids’ Veg Space. (We’re keeping the covers…for now.)
Decide which area you want to attack and then…
- Take everything out and PURGE!
- Giveaway/donate the non-keepers (the library often likes donations).
- Re-organize them all neat and tidy.
Option 2: 10-15 Minute Sweep
With your timer set, grab a laundry basket (or whatever you have to work with), and do a quick pick up throughout your home. ONLY pick up the number of items that you’ll actually be able to put back to where they belong – this is the key to success.
*This is a great organizing task to make a habit to do daily!
Option 3: Phone Call
Take your time today to make that one phone call that you’ve been meaning to make. Maybe it’s to schedule an appointment, make a lunch date with a friend or to catch up with a family member. Be intentional to carve out the 10-15 minutes to make the call and then check it off on your list!
Important Reminders:
- Be realistic and do not take on more than what you will be able to finish within 10-15 minutes per day.
- The goal is to do one project to 100% completion each day.
- Feel free to mix and match from day-to-day based on what your specific needs are and what you have the motivation to work on!
