Spring Organizing and Cleaning: My 7 Day Agenda
Starting April 1st, for 7 days straight, I plan to do a
spring organizing and/or spring cleaning project
each day. Here's what's on my agenda...DAY 1 Begin outside clean up, including getting rid of any leftover winter brush, snipping dead branches from plants to get them ready for the warmer weather ahead and sweeping the walkway and driveway.
DAY 2 Put away any winter clothing for the season that is still in our closets, and bring out our spring and summer wardrobes. Iron anything that requires it.
DAY 3 Begin sorting through my daughter's spring toys from last year (bubbles, chalk, watering cans, etc.) Determine if she has enough to keep her occupied, while I'm outside taking care of my gardening and other outdoor work. If not, make a list of a few items to make and/or pick up from the store.
DAY 4 Clean areas in our house that get neglected most of the year, such as the tops of our high cabinets, under the fridge and the bookcase shelves (empty, dust, and return all books again).
DAY 5 Revisit our calendars and determine if we're doing just enough or too much. Cancel excessive activities that we're not too excited about so we have time to simply stop and smell the roses.
DAY 6 Empty the fridge and freezer and clean them out before returning our perishables back inside. Also, defrost the little fridge we keep in our basement.
DAY 7 Make arrangements for our summer help, including the lawn mowing service, grass, tree and plant service, someone to re-stain our deck and make an appointment to have the car detailed.
By the end of these 7 days, I know we'll feel great and a lot will be complete and behind us!
Can I steal this list for my place? :)

This list sounds great, but what about we who work fulltime? There is no way I can get these things accomplished after a full day at work.

NOTE FROM MARIA GRACIA
I work full time too. :-) Put aside an hour each night to get your spring organizing and cleaning done, until complete. :)
