-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . August 29, 2010
Get your clothes closet ready for autumn.
This week’s challenge is to either remove all of your warm
weather clothes from your closet and store them for the season
OR, if your closet is large enough, simply move them towards the
back. Inventory your cooler weather clothing, weeding out
anything you no longer plan to wear. Before purchasing anything
new, use the one in-one out rule, so your closet doesn’t become
packed full of clothing you never use. Email us and let us know
how you did with this challenge, including your unique systems
for storing your seasonal clothing OR for organizing your clothes
closet so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for each day.

Week of . . . August 22, 2010
Get rid of anything expired.
Whether you have salad dressing in your fridge that expired
months ago, warranty paperwork that is long past its prime or
calendars for events that have long since occurred , your
challenge this week is to get rid of anything hanging around your
home or office that has expired and is no longer useful. Email us
and let us know what you ditched.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . August 15, 2010
Make a List of Fall Projects.
The lazy days of summer are nearly over. Your challenge this
week is to begin getting ready for the fall season. Make a list of
10 projects you want to get done when autumn arrives. Perhaps
you can even start on one or two now so you’re ahead of the
game. Email us and tell us what projects ended up on your list.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . August 8, 2010
Weed out your Facebook Friends.
Did you go a bit overboard when you began accepting
EVERYONE as a Facebook friend? Your challenge this week is to
weed out those names that you’d prefer not having listed as your
‘friend’ on your Facebook, or other social media page. Not into
social media? Weed out unnecessary cell phone contacts
instead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . August 1, 2010
Organize a Section of Your Garage.
Your challenge this week is to organize a section of your garage,
whether it’s a shelf, a corner, a rack--whatever. Just choose a
section and organize it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . July 25th, 2010
Inventory School Supplies.
Back-to-school is right around the corner. If you have students
living at home, your challenge is to inventory their school clothes
and school supplies (crayons, folders, etc.), make a list of
everything you still need to purchase before the first day of school
AND finally schedule a date on your calendar to go shopping.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . July 18th, 2010
Organize a shelf.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a closet shelf, a shelf in your office or a
shelf in the kitchen. Just pick a shelf and organize it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . July 11th, 2010
Make a new recipe.
Your challenge this week is to locate that recipe you’ve been
meaning to make, and try it out. Be sure you shop for any
ingredients needed, measure everything out ahead of time and
read through the entire recipe twice before starting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . July 4th, 2010
Fix Something.
Your challenge this week is to fix something, preferably
something that has needed attention for quite some time. You
may have to replace a screen on a door or window, sew on a
missing button, bring an electronic device in for repair, paint over
some wall scratches, or even mend a broken relationship.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . June 27th, 2010
Organize a Financial Item.
Your challenge this week is to organize something related to your
finances. This may mean balancing your checkbook, getting all of
your pending and paid bills into a bill paying system or making an
appointment with your banker to open an account you’ve been
meaning to get to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . June 20th, 2010
Organize Something...Outdoors.
In celebration of Summer, your challenge this week is to organize
something outdoors. You might organize your garden, your patio
or your backyard. Another option is to bring something outside
that needs to be organized, like weeding out file folders, so you’re
enjoying the fresh air while accomplishing something at the same
time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . June 13th, 2010
Creatively make something into storage.
Look around your house for a vase, canister or basket not
currently being used. Transform that item into a storage container
for cooking utensils, cat toys, office supplies or other items that
would be more organized if they were contained. The more
unusual, the better.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . June 6th, 2010
Schedule “Me” Time for the summer.
We have so many obligations in our daily lives that take up most
of the space in our busy schedules. But if we don’t make the time
to do things we love, these obligations will take over and we’ll feel
we never have the time to do anything for ourselves. That’s a
great way to get burnt out. Your challenge this week is to open
your calendar and schedule a minimum of 2 hours for yourself
each week through the beginning of fall.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . May 30th, 2010
Play catch up.
What task or project do you have to do that you’re way behind
on? Whether it’s your laundry, a report you’re writing for work,
your reading pile or a knitting project you started months ago, this
week’s challenge is to catch up with that task or project and bring
it up-to-date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Week of . . . May 23rd, 2010
Do An “I Don’t Want To Do It” Project
We all have tasks and projects we don’t necessarily want to do
anytime soon, but that have to eventually get done. Whether you
have to clean out the garage, start making a costume for your
child, or make a medical appointment you’ve been delaying, your
challenge this week is to get that “I Don’t Want To Do It” task or
project done and off your list--that is, if it really needs to be done
in the first place. If it doesn’t, simply crossing it off your list will
ease some tension. Email us and share your story.
