Homemakers Challenge | Day 19

Leave a comment

Hi,

This challenge is to motivate and encourage you to eliminate chaos and clutter in your home and transform it to the clean and orderly place it’s supposed to be. Anyone (especially those who are not naturally organized like me) can join no matter what day we are on.

TODAY’S TASKS

1. Take care of yourself. For example:

– Exfoliate or do a facial

– Shave overgrown hairs in private areas. Also shave hairs on your legs (if that’s your thing)

– Get your nails done

– Get your hair done. You could also rejuvenate or slightly alter the style you already have on

– Trim your eyebrows

– Go through a good magazine or small book

– Eat something different and a bit sophisticated for dinner

– Relax (yesterday’s tasks were tough, you deserve this)

“Just when you feel you have no time to relax, know that this is the moment you most need to make time to relax.” – Matt Haig

Cheers!

P.S.: If you work a 9 to 5 job, your greatest asset will be to learn how to divide work into smaller chunks, but they must get done regardless.

1. Have fun by yourself, with your family or your friends. Ways you can have fun:

– Watch a movie

– Watch YouTube videos

– Go window shopping

– Eat out

– Play outdoor sports or games

– Play indoor board games

Try not to do any work today except you have really young children who cannot take care of themselves yet. Break the habit of piling house work for Saturdays. On Saturday, stay in bed longer and enjoy the day. Your life will be happier and so much less stressful.

Hi,

This challenge is to motivate and encourage you to eliminate chaos and clutter in your home and transform it to the clean and orderly place it’s supposed to be. Anyone (especially those who are not naturally organized like me) can join no matter what day we are on.

TODAY’S TASKS


1. Plan your meals for the coming week, make your grocery list and go shopping.
2. Plan how you will destress and have fun tomorrow, either by yourself or with family and friends.
3. Declutter, clean and arrange your books (or bookshelf), documents, old receipts, papers, stationary and the likes. Basically, anywhere you put papers, stationary or books should be attended to. Time: 15 minutes (+ extra 5 minutes if you anticipate any distractions).

4. General cleaning and mopping of the house including bathrooms and toilet. Spend your weekend in a clean house. Also tomorrow is for resting, not working.

TIPS FOR HOMEMAKERS WHO WORK 9-5 JOBS

1. Still plan your meals for the coming week and go grocery shopping tonight or tomorrow morning

2. Ensure you do your general cleaning today even if you have to sleep late. You’ll have the whole day tomorrow to rest

3. Your decluttering may be moved to tomorrow, but don’t overdo it, stick to the time limit.

Hi,

This challenge is to motivate and encourage you to eliminate chaos and clutter in your home and transform it to the clean and orderly place it’s supposed to be. Anyone (especially those who are not naturally organized like me) can join no matter what day we are on.

TODAY’S TASKS

1. House Inspection: Go round your house and inspect walls, corners and places you do not see on a regular basis. You’re looking out for cracks, openings, leakages, cobwebs, clutter and dirt. Note the discrepancies down so you can address them during the course of the week.

“Learn to look up now and then, just in case a piano is falling from overhead.” – Richelle E. Goodrich

2. Home Blessing: While you are doing (a) above, bless you home. Pray for every area of your home and everyone who steps foot in it. Come against domestic accidents and evil influences in every area. Speak love, peace and joy into your home, in the name of Jesus.

“Let us never forget to pray. God lives. He is near. He is real. He is not only aware of us but cares for us. He is our Father. He is accessible to all who will seek him.” – Grodon B. Hinckley

Cheers!

“I might have gone a little overboard today buying some new spices- I swear I can spend all day at the supermarket.
