Each day pick a challenge area. You can work as a team or split up. I will give suggestions to you for each day for what you could work on. Each day work through the Spring Cleaning Steps for the area you are working on.

Spring Cleaning Steps:

1. Empty – Remove everything from the space.
2. Clean – With the stuff removed, now’s a good time to clean the space.
3. Declutter – You have a certain space for your stuff. Your goal is to only have as much stuff as fits in that space. Remove the stuff you aren’t using. You don’t need it! Give it away or find a purpose for it. Only put back what you are using.
4. Organize – Put things where you’ll see them and be able to find them without sorting through everything. Use bins and baskets where it makes sense to help keep like things together. Label your organization so others can keep it up and you won’t have to figure out again how you organized it.
5. Motivation – Less stuff means less to pick up and put away, less stuff to worry about, less stuff to keep track of, less stuff to have to organize and deal with next time you clean.
