Happy House Cleaning Challenge: Week 3

Oh my goodness it's late. I have an excuse. You care right? I mean, if the excuse is legitimate I won't get bashed in blog world. I.just.finished.working. And to be honest, I'm not really sure if I finished everything I needed to get done...but it is almost tomorrow anyway, so it can wait until I sleep take a nap.

Ok, focus. Blog. Challenge. Here we go. So, you are still here. I mean you must be if you are reading this. Great! So glad you are sticking around! How did last week go? Harder than the first? I know you all did awesome, no doubt about it. Have no idea what I'm talking about? Go here and here for the 1st and 2nd weeks of the challenge. It's never too late to join!

My results:
Make the Bed: 7/7
Empty the Sink: 7/7 *Bonus Appliance Wipe Down Complete!

Woo hoo! I almost forgot about the sink a couple nights, but then I remembered. I just didn't want to disappoint all of you :) Don't forget to tell me how you did in the comments below.

Now it's time to tell you what Week 3 is all about, that is if you haven't already played this game or looked ahead of course.

Week 3: Clear the Clutter!

This task helps with daily messes. Most people spend a good portion of their evening in one room. For me, it's my main living space. It's where I create the most daily mess. It's our family room. You know, our newly furnished family room (yay!).

The goal is to leave that space decluttered at the end of the night. Don't worry if your space isn't easily declutter...able? (ok, now the words are getting more ridiculous) Make your task to spend 5 minutes working on cleaning and organizing that space. A great place to start is to take everything that doesn't have a home and make three piles: throw away, donate, and give it a permanent home. Throughout the week, take care of those piles. Hopefully by next week, you will be at a maintaining level. That's where I am, so it's basically taking the dishes to the kitchen, putting away my laptop, books, magazines, blankets, etc. and just tidying up the space.

So, your task in a nut shell. Before you go to bed, clear out your main living space area, just ONE room! If it's an overwhelming task, start with 5 minutes a night until you are looking at a wonderfully organized space and everything in it's "home" spot. You'll wake up to a sleek living space just waiting for your arrival that evening after a long day!

Let's Recap with our new task:
1. Make the Bed!
2. Empty the Sink! *Appliance Wipe Down (do it again :) )
3. Clear the Clutter!

Before I go, again, don't forget to fill me in on how you did on the two tasks this week in the comments! Oh oh and of course you can link if you are blogging about it. I love reading your entries! We'll check in next week to see how you did with all 3 tasks.

Lastly, HUGE shout outs to all the participants! Clicky names go to their blogs so you can check out their progress!
