Do you remember - this was my posting last year after christmas - how we jump clean and organized into 2012. I would like to start again... 
Christmas is nearly over and we jump into a new year. Time for action! I have created a kind of plan for cleaning up in January. I plan to start during last week of December 2011/first week of January 2012 with a planning week. You can vary in duration and order of these “weeks” as needed for you! I would be more than happy if you join in and we write our progress and updates here!
Planning week:
Take a calendar for 2012 and enter as follows:
- Birthdays
- Vacations
- Already known family events
- All other important activities for you, your kids, family, friends etc
“Put away Christmas 2011 week”
- put down and store all Christmas decoration; don’t forget to label boxes!
- declutter Christmas decoration
- write down what needs to be replaced
- think about Christmas 2011: what went fine/what not and write it down for 2012
- Declutter and put away your supplies for Christmas card making and gift wrapping as well; write down any replacements
- Declutter your crafts corner as well. Think about unfinished Christmas projects: either you schedule a date for finishing or put it away
- Start a Christmas Notebook 2012
Kitchen week:
During past weeks you were very busy in your kitchen: cookie making, preparing festive dinners, etc. Time for cleaning up!
- clean and put away all Christmas related supplies
- declutter your Christmas supplies, as eg not used cookie cutters, etc
- stock up your inventory
Children room week:
Your kids got many new toys – time to declutter and make space for the new ones! Sort out those which are not needed anymore or broken.
Foyer, Dining room & Bathroom week:
Many visitors came into your home during last weeks.
- Clean up
- Declutter and replace broken items
- Bathroom: check soaps and toilet tissues – buy new if needed
Bedroom week:
During last weeks you had many things to do and a lot of stress! Make it comfortable here for relaxing, eg with a reading corner, candles or perfumed candles! Clean up here as well, if needed!
If you received new clothes or vouchers for new clothes, don’t forget to declutter your wardrobe! So you have enough space for new ones
“What I haven’t finished during HGP 2011” week:
As I haven’t finished HGP 2011 completely, I will finish all smaller tasks if still needed
Hope to hear from you in this topic!
