Summer OC – Day #8

I’m giving you a big high-five today!!!

Choose only one option, set your timer, turn off all distractions, and get to organizing!

Option 1: Organize your Pantry

Not a complete overall, but a quick purge and sweep!

Go basket by basket, shelf by shelf, or drawer by drawer (keeping your time to no more than 15 minutes).
Toss any outdated food.
Make a menu plan based on any foods which need to be used in the next month or two.
Make a list for any items that need replenishing.
Clean as you go…
Re-organize things as necessary.
Step back and smile. 🙂

Option 2: Organize your Beach Towels

Dig out the beach towels today and take your 10-15 minutes to go through them.

Do some of your towels need to be turned into cleaning rags?
Do you have enough beach towels for your summer activities?
Do you have a good storage space set up for the towels?
Do you have a great way to air-dry the beach towels for quick turn around between swim sessions?

When you are all done, fold them and stack them so they are ready for those pool parties!

Option 3: Organize your Books

Pick a selection of books you will be able to sort through quickly.
Be discerning about which books you want to keep and which books you could donate or sell.
Dust and clean as necessary.
Bag up any books you plan to donate (most libraries will take donated books).

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!
