Kelly's Missions: Where Will You End Up Today?

You never know where you will end up, or what you will find, when you tackle one of Kelly's Missions! Perhaps you will be hunting dust bunnies in places you never knew dust bunnies lived, or diving for treasures between your sofa cushions, or maybe flinging "unmentionables" from under beds, closets, and dressers. You just never know! Each day during the week, Kelly will add a new mission for whatever zone we are working in. Have fun! Are you ready to FLY with Kelly?

FLY Spot Alert for the Week!

"FLY Spots" are one of those hidden places where clutter seems to accumulate without us even realizing it! Spend 15 minutes in a FLY Spot, and you will be amazed at how much clutter you find!

This week's FLY Spot: This week we are in Zone 3: The Bathroom and One Other Room. The other room this month is the Home Office. If you don't have an organization system set up for your taxes, buy a box of manila envelopes and mark one with 2009 to contain a copy of the tax return you just completed. Label other envelopes for charitable giving receipts, business expenses, W2 and other official forms when they arrive next year, etc. Claim an area in your desk for these envelopes and ALWAYS put tax info there without procrastination. This small step will save you much time and hassle during tax time next year and the manila envelopes are easy to grab to take to your accountant or other appointments where the info will be needed.

You can't organize clutter; you can only get rid of it! - FlyLady

Tuesday's Mission!

Dear Friends,

We are headed into the bathroom this week. Let's grab some general purpose cleaner and shine those counter tops and shine our bathroom sinks! Clear everything off the counter top and wipe them from side to side and top to bottom. Then use a little elbow grease and scrub your sink, then spritz the counter top and sink with a little Windex to make it shine.

For the Home Office: Empty the wastebasket

Love,
Kelly


Monday's Mission!

Dear Friends,

For the Bathroom: Spend 15 minutes decluttering health and beauty aids! This means toss the old medicines, hair sprays, gels, shampoos, conditioners, old razors, old dried up nail polish, old cosmetics and anything else that is hanging around in your bathroom that you have not used in the past year!

Grab a trash bag and start tossing. Don't hold onto something because you "might" use it, or because you might need it, this is how clutter breeds (an also how bacteria breeds if you are holding onto old cosmetics, brushes or sponges)! Be brutal and toss, toss, toss.

I trust you all to make good decisions in disposing of these items. Recycle containers or packaging that can be recycled, if you are not sure how to dispose of certain medications - contact your local pharmacy or poison control center to get instructions for your specific medication.

When you complete this mission you will love how your bathroom feels, I know I use that sentence a lot for missions but it is so true! LOL!

For the Home Office: Set a timer for 5 minutes and clear off a hotspot!

Love,
Kelly
