It is getting a little nippy here where I live, so one of the things I am thinking of is fall clean up.
As I have mentioned before, I keep a list of things to get done. It helps me stay organized. If things are in order, I don’t feel so overwhelmed when life happens. Decluttering is not overlooked and I give things away that we’re no longer using – like clothes that are still in style. I put the list on the front of my fridge and work on it over a few weeks. I hope I’ve inspired you to clean up a few things this fall.
Here’s my current list.
