Okay, I’m up for this too. Funny how great minds thing alike, a couple days ago i realized that i need to get my home organized and tidy so i can let my mind focus on work. My kids don’t go back until Sept. 5 and on Sept. 6 i’m doing intensive work catch up. So, here are my main things that are bugging me pretty much daily:

1) Go through food -sort and clean chest freezer, pantry and lazy susan. USE UP foods in the house and freezer before grocery shopping!
2) Tidy toy room and give away toys the kids don’t use anymore.
2.5) Tidy spare room (rarely used) and make room for toys.
3) Move toy room stuff upstairs and create office for hubby and I in that room instead.
4) Do ALL laundry so no items are on the laundry room floor.
5) Sort shoes and clothes for kids and I. Donate what doesn’t fit and get some new stuff that does
6) Make fall business goals and write them down.
…more things to add soon

I’m excited to get to this. I’m off to deal with the spare room

Wow, Nettie! Three pages since I put up this post?! I’m amazed you have a list at all! Bring on the questions, my friend!

Wendy,

I’m up for the challenge and I just made my list!

Both my kids just left to school Tuesday and like you I need to find more work life balance. Or even if were able to find the left shoe to my favorite pair of New Balance running shoes, that would be an accomplishment!

Here are some on my list (which is three pages long!)

1. Clean both kids closets and donate clothes.
2. Get rid of all shoes in my closet that haven’t been worn in a year.
3. Clean out email folders and delete as much as possible.
4. Finish reading Pema Chodron’s latest book.
5. Fix back screen door.
6. Get someone to repair fence for dog yard.

Thanks for putting up this challenge!!!
Nettie
