ATTENTION Clutter busters!

[binny]

Lucky you!!! You will get another week off
Actually almost 2 weeks the Grand Plan starts Sept 1st
I have been doing some research and think we will be better off if we follow the " Holiday Grand Plan"
Check it out here...

http://holidayorganizer.com/hgp/index.shtml

that way we can kill two birds (or more) with one stone. We can get our homes and everything ready for the Holidays while cleaning and organizing at the same time
Good plan? Let me know what you think

I spent the weekened printing out and making my "CEO's Christmas Countdown" notebook. I have some friends here that are going to do this with me too so we are not alone


SO check out the site and let me know what you think!

Ok Binny, I'm in.....at least I'm going to try. The link you provided is great! I was a little overwhelmed at first, but they've really done all the hard stuff for us. It's just up to us to follow along and stick with it. September 1st here I come!!!

 

[binny]

That's the spirit Shelley

You know I found making that binder really made a lot of difference in how Im viewing this. I *know* its a neccesary evil to get this done but now Im actually looking forward to it. They've broken it down to reasonable chunks that even *I* can manage

one fifth of your Christmas cards on week, one fourth of your baking, organizing a cookie exchange one week, those are all thing I can manage

my craft group is taking this on too so I will have lots of motivation!

 

[SeaShelley]

Neat idea to get others involved. I'll start spreading the word in my circle of friends and see who's up to the challenge with me.

Now if I could just find a binder in all this mess......

 

[binny]

LOL I gave up and went and bought one theyre on sale anyway

 

[SeaShelley]

Where are all the other clutter busters?? Surely, Binny and I are not alone in this!!

DH would say that I need to be in this group! I thought the website looked great-- though I'm a bit apprehensive of the jeering that will occur when I continue to be a total slob....

 

[kinlaw6450]

Whew! How in the world do you do it???

 

[SeaShelley]

Cajun....at least you gave it a try! Can't jeer you for that!

Kinlaw...my motto will be "one thing at a time!" If I don't get to all of it, well so what. At least I did some!

I'm getting really tired of the clutter, especially in the basement! We are planning another yard sale for the end of September, and so help me if it doesn't sell it's going to the dump. It will NOT see the inside of my house again!!!!

I'm interested, but the website seems overwhelming! Can any of you give me a condensed version of how it works? I am familiar with S.H.E. but have not used my card file for years! I can get my house cleaned, but getting my DD and DH (and me too, if I'm honest) to keep it that way is my problem!
