The “Calendar Method” of cleaning

We’re less than a month from the holidays which means your guests will be here before you know it.

Are you panicked that your house won’t be ready in time?

Try the “Calendar Method” this year!

Lifehacker says to print out a blank calendar for December…then on December 1st, get rid of one piece of clutter in your house by either throwing it away, giving it away or selling it.

On the 2nd, get rid of two pieces of clutter, three on the 3rd and so forth.

You’ll start to get in a rhythm and since you have a pre-determined number of things to get rid of every day, you’ll won’ be overwhelmed.

By the time Santa rolls down the chimney, your home end of the month, you’ll have gotten rid of 300 pieces of clutter and that will make a difference in how clean your home is!

Let us know how it goes!
