A day off...

Today I´m having a day off.
I usually get up quite early in the mornings but today I decided to stay a little bit longer in bed before getting started.
I for sure have a long To do- list to work on today.
During the renovation of the kitchen I´ve had a hard time following my normal routines and things haven´t been done properly here at home. But now I really feel that I have to deal with it and try to get things organized even if it´s difficult because of the circumstances.


The queen of organization, lovely Martha Stewart have put toghether this great "6 things to do every day"- list that will prevent small projects from becoming major ones down the line.
I might just start following them.

Make the Bed
Tidiness begets tidiness. A crisply made bed makes the whole room seem more orderly, which makes it less likely that you’ll let other things -- such as clothes and papers -- pile up around it.

Manage Clutter
Whenever you leave a room, take a quick look around for anything that isn’t where it should be. Pick it up and put it where it belongs. Insist that everyone in the household do the same.

Sort the Mail
Take a few minutes to open, read, and sort mail as soon as you bring it inside. Keep a trash bin near your sorting area for junk mail. Drop other mail into one of four in-boxes: personal correspondence, bills, catalogs, and filing.


Clean as You Cook
Instead of filling the sink with pots and dishes, wash them or put them in the dishwasher as you prepare a meal.


Wipe Up Spills While They’re Fresh
Whether it’s tomato sauce on the cooktop or makeup on the bathroom counter, almost anything is faster and easier to remove if you attend to it immediately.

Sweep the Kitchen Floor
Every evening, once you’ve finished washing up after dinner, sweep the floor. This will keep tough-to-clean dirt and grime from building up, which will make the weekly mopping much quicker.



Wish all of you readers a great wednesday!

Kind regards
Tina
