I have this flyer that i got from...somewhere, can't remember, but it's been hanging on my fridge for a month and I'm wanting to get rid of it, cause I'm 'decluttering' today as the flylady (an awesome website) teaches and I'm tired of it hanging on my fridge with a cute fridge magnet. So, since i don't know where to stash it only to have to deal with moving it around later...i'm gonna make a blog out of it...then i can refer to it whenever my heart desires.
Since the paper is titled 'Helpful Hints & Handy Cleaners' I thought it was worthy of a blogspot.
Ok, here goes:
Break down the big jobs
Instead of tyring to tackle a full closet all at once, start by clearing off a single shelf. Decide what you should keep and put it back on the shelf; what you don't keep can be given or thrown away.
In your spare time, put up some battery-operated puck-shaped lights in closets, deep cabinets and pantries so you can see exactly what's in all the corners. If you know that you already have two bottles of dish soap under the sink, you're less likely to buy a third.
Become a groupie
Walk around your home with an empty laundry basket and collect just one type of thing-maybe hats and gloves, kids' or pets' toys, craft projects or books. Once you've assembled your collection, decide immediately how to best store it or put it away.
And teach your family the O-H-I-O method for keeping tidy: Only Handle It Once. When the mail comes in, sort it immediately. Same with school papers-file or toss them. Whether it's dirty dishes, laundry or bill paying, the O-H-I-O method works again and again.
Happy Cleaning!! <-----Ok, that was so cheesy, i know...
