Welcome back to the 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home {Simplified} series!
From November 5 to December 7 (skipping the week of Thanksgiving), every weekday morning at 9 a.m. EST, I’ll be posting the day’s assignment and then every evening at 7 p.m. EST, I’ll be posting my progress and pictures, along with a link-up for you to share your progress and pictures, too.
Day 12 Assignment
::Get dressed in something that makes you feel great {there’s something about dressing in clothes that make you feel great that just gives you more energy and zest for life! Get your free copy of SarahMae’s ebook, Frumps to Pumps, if you need more motivation in this.}
::Sit down with a cup of coffee or tea, refer to your list of weekly goals, and make a list of no more than 5-7 specific things you want to accomplish today.
::Set the timer for 15 minutes and vacuum the main living areas of your home.
::Clean your microwave, stove top, and/or oven.
Take pictures of your accomplishments and blog about them, if you’d like. And then come back here at 7 p.m. EST to share your progress posts or tell us about your accomplishments in a comment.

I wish I could vacuum our main living areas in 15 minutes. Two sets of carpeted stairs plus everything else puts it at about an hour.
Crystal says
Sounds like you need to downsize your main living areas — though if you have a gaggle of kids that’s not really always an option! 😉
To clarify, though, I wasn’t picturing people vacuuming the stairs or anything… just the middles of the most-used rooms. Unless you’re all ambitious or live in a teensy-tiny house! 🙂
Andrea says
I’m expecting my fifth in a couple more weeks. 🙂
We homeschool and are home a lot, plus we have a dog, so it seems like I always need to vacuum the high-traffic areas. No complaints, just a tired mama, though sometimes I miss our small apartment days.

This isn’t a difficult one for me (unlike the silverware drawer!) I am sort of obsessed with cleaning out my microwave and oven; I would probably have a nightmare if I don’t!-:)
Stacy @ A Delightful Home says
Alright! I’m in for today! Off to get cleaning (and vacuuming!).
Meredith says
We bought a new vacuum on Black Friday (that actually works) so today’s assignment was actually fun for me!
bekah says
I find it funny that this morning I cleaned all three of those things before I read your post!
Crystal says
Way to go!!
