This week we are in Zone 2 our kitchens!
The kitchen is the heart of our home.
Focus on one little part — reclaim your kitchen sink. Empty everything out of your sink, shine it up, fill it with hot soapy water, and start washing dishes, one at a time.
- Do a 27-Fling "Trash" Boogie. Trash is clutter. When the bag is full, take it outside, right away, to the trash bin.
- Clear out your mail hotspot. Get rid of the old magazines, catalogs, and advertisements.
- Clear the clutter off your counters one at a time.
- Clear the clutter off your kitchen table.
- Take a peek at your pantry. Don't pull everything out and start reorganizing; just take a look, see what you need, and start a grocery list.
If your kitchen is clean but still cluttered: start decluttering. Check out our daily missions. FlyLady usually sends out one during the week which concentrates on decluttering one small area of your kitchen.
December's Monthly Habit: Pampering Yourself Daily!
Welcome to December — the month of Pampering! This is the best habit. All month, we are going to take time to take care of ourselves. If you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of your family. So, this is such an important habit to practice.
"If you don't take care of you who will?" ~ FlyLady
Thursday is our day to run some errands!
Thursday at FlyLady is Errand Day. We use this day to get out and run whatever errands we need to do for the week. Make a list of wherever you need to go and whatever you need to do during the day today and then get to it. Please be safe out there. This can include:
- Grocery shopping
- Doctor appointments
- Dentist appointments
- Dropping the clothes off at the cleaner
- Dropping of clutter donations
And tons of other things. If it needs to be done outside the house, today is the day to do it. Make a list of these things and check them off as you do them.
"We do what we can today and then we do a little more tomorrow" ~FlyLady
Zone 2: Mission #4 Thursday
Dear Friends,
The shining heart of your kitchen is your kitchen sink. Your mission for today is to shine your sink. This is the first assignment that you are ever given. Even I forget what a powerful message that gleaming sink does for me in the morning.
FlyKid Mission #4 Thursday
Hi Kids,
Today we have a special treat, our very own Kid Challenge from a Kid your age.Here it is:I have thought of something called the 15 minute closet clean. For example, you set a timer for 15 minutes or watch the clock and while those 15 minutes are going you clean your closet.If your closet is a real mess, and I mean big big mess, start with one area at a time. Like if you have a toy box in the middle of your closet and a space of each side then you pick out the big stuff of one side and then the next and put it where it goes in your room.
The big stuff makes the mess look bigger than it is. Then go to the next biggest stuff and then to the small stuff but do one section at a time.If the timer runs out before you finish take a 15 minute break and then go back to what you were doing. When you take your break don't do something you will want to keep doing so you just forget the cleaning and keep doing what you want to do.
We have a Student Control Journal for you, it's FREE.
