Mini Mission Monday is about finding ten minutes a day to declutter. To make it easy for you, each Monday I set seven declutter missions, one for each day of the week for you to follow. It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering. This week's mini missions reflects the decluttering that was going on in my house last week. Â Each day I will name a category and you can see if you have an item in that category to declutter. You may think you don't have anything but take a look anyway, you might be surprised. Monday - … [Read more...]
