Declutter It! is Getting Organized

8-day-planner.jpgI was thinking today about how I can organize my organizing blog. :)

As I was poking around at some other fellow bloggers’ blogs, I noticed that a lot of them have a theme for the day. That’s when I had my “Aha!” moment. Declutter It! needs a schedule.

This will help keep me and my blog on the right path and also hopefully help out you, my lovely and loyal readers.

So this is what I came up with:

  • Motivate Me Mondays – Every Monday I will issue you a challenge. Either to go through one drawer in your house and purge and organize it. Or, to take a trash bag, go through one room in your house, set the timer for 5 minutes, and get rid of some stuff. Or, to sit down and write out a step by step plan for the room that bothers you the most. This plan would involve everything it is going to take to get your room back! From beginning to end.
  • Tick Tock, There Goes That Darn Clock Tuesdays – This day is all about time management. We will learn together how to get back our days and weeks and be able to look back on them with a smile on our face.
  • Where is My Desk? Wednesdays – This day is all about that home office. From bills to files to piles and piles of paper. We will also cover the computer, your office supplies and when to turn off that phone so you can get some work done. We have voice mail for a reason people!! :)
  • Tame Those Toys Thursdays – This isn’t just going to be about toys. Toys just happened to start with a T. This day is all about your kids. (If you don’t have any, well, email this day to a friend who does.) We will be talking about kids’ schedules, bedrooms, school work and whatever else is in between. Teaching our kids good organization skills at a young age is something they will take with them and benefit from for the rest of their lives.
  • Find It Fridays – Are you sick and tired of always looking for things? Do you find yourself rummaging through drawers and closets and under the bed for who knows what? Well, this day is all about finding everything within a few seconds. It really is a good thing to know where your keys are as you are leaving the house. Or to know exactly where those twin sheets are when you need them. Or to be able to look in your closet and see exactly what you have in your wardrobe.
    Now for Saturdays and Sundays…these are my “free as a bird” days. I can write about whatever I want or hit the park and blow the computer a kiss as I leave!

    I will always write one post on the topic of the day, but I will also throw in many other things throughout the week. Favorite books, favorite products, travelling tips, etc.

    I think that’s it! I am looking forward to what lies ahead on your journey to decluttering your life.

    Oh, and the schedule will officially start tomorrow, in case you were wondering. :)

      Way to go! I LOOOVE your schedule! I’m adding you to my blog so others can benefit from your organizing talent!

      I’m an “organizer” myself. I don’t think there’s a day that goes by that I’m not sorting or purging or relocating or reconfiguring SOMETHING! Sometimes I think I have OCD. LOL

      I’m looking forward to reading all your tips! Thanks in advance!

      I just started my blog exactly one week ago…hope you can visit sometime! If you have any tips on organizing your blog, I would sooo appreciate the input!

      Awesome idea mr. parks. :) I took a peek at your blog and you’ve got me hooked! I’ll be following you to see your dream come alive. I know it will.

      You have made the first step that many people aren’t brave enough to do and that is just getting started. Now all you have to do is stick with it and persevere through the good days and the bad.

      I’m looking very forward to following you on this adventure!
