So for 2010 my goal is to be settled & clutter free by Christmas 2010.
The settled part is on the D.L. (Down Low) until it is offical but I will keep everybody updated.
The clutter part started with my asking my facebook friends for advice. One gal told me to look up flylady.com. I do have to admit the website is kind of a TON to absorb in 2 hours (literally that's how long I've been reading the website), but I have a few pages that have become my favorites. I only have a few because I haven't gotten that far yet. (the space in between FLYingLessons & Routines etc., is an underscore so it should look like this FLYingLessons_Routines, FLYingLessons_Declutter, FLYingLessons_ControlJournal10, I'm not quite sure why it did that)
My Routine!
How to Declutter!
Master Grocery List!
So basically I started my day with putting my tennis shoes on and deep cleaning my sink. Like the FlyLady says, if you put your tennis shoes on everyday you have no excuse to not take out garbage or anything else outdoors, and if you keep up with your deep cleaned sink you just have to keep it cleaned up.
The process for deep cleaning my sink went as followed:
-Fill ONE side of the sink with hot water, to the top of the sink & add ONE cup of bleach.
-Let sit for ONE hour
-Rinse WELL
-Poor Bar Keepers Friendly (for stainless steel, or any other scrubbing such as comet) on the sink & down in the drain
-Scrub with SOS pad or scrubber
-Rinse WELL
-Spray Windex all over sink & wipe with rag/paper towel
-For a much more shine, poor a tiny amount of Olive Oil or Lemon Oil on a rag & wipe all over the sink. I used Olive Oil.
Here are some photos of my deep cleaned sink. I didn't take any pictures before (which I regret now) but I also am putting pictures of the rags. They were disgustingly black and I thought my sink was pretty clean, although being stainless steel it hides a lot of flaws.
My 3 rags after it was all said & done
The Windex Rag - normally a white rag w/ red lines
The Drying Rag
The Olive Oil Rag
From now on I will do a before & after picture. My next project is my hall closet with all of my stupid toiletries & towels & sheets etc., This one is going to be a tough project, but baby steps will get me through it!
Happy New Year Everybody!!
