By now, your resolve to follow through with your new year’s resolutions is likely fading. How about a new one? Let’s plan home organizing and home improvement projects for the year. This resolution doesn’t require you to start these projects, so it is an easy one to complete.
All you will need is paper, pencil, and an open mind…
…all you will do is make a list. Nothing more.
Take a walk through your house. Approach each room with the mindset that you are looking at it for the first time.
Note the condition of the room itself: walls, ceiling, floor, windows, doors, baseboards. Does anything need a touchup such as a fresh coat of paint or a good scrubbing? Jot down these items on your list.
Look at the furnishings: window treatments, furniture, rugs, knickknacks. Anything due for updating? Donating? Add these to the list as well.
Open closet doors. Does the closet need to be reorganized? Do clothes, linens, cleaning supplies—whatever that closet holds—need replacement, replenishing? Again, add to the list.
Now walk around the exterior of your house. Check the roof, windows, doors, exterior walls, yard, garden, whatever you have. Anything needing repair or enhancement? Add these to the list.
You’re done. Set the list aside in a place where you can find it in a couple of weeks when I’ll offer you instructions on what to do with it then.
See? I promised it would be easy!
