Ok Big Sis, let’s make it a challenge then

Just to be clear before I start revising your truly great ten tips to a cleaner room, I don’t hate them! I enjoyed reading your post very much.

So let’s see. As you should already know, I’m pretty aware of these little tricks you’ve mentioned. It’s not like I don’t know where a clean room comes from. For example your second point ‘Rules’. Everything in my room has it’s own place. To name a few of these places: the floor, my bed or in the right corner of the upper drawer. Either way, I get pretty mad if someone puts something where it doesn’t belong and I’m very good in finding things (since they all have their places).

To be honest now, it’s not the lack of knowledge on how to be more organized, it’s the inner voice telling me “you can clean it up tomorrow, you certainly do not have time for that now” or “why bother?”. Well, to prognosticate myself, I truly don’t bother! So at the end the problem is not the set aim but the realization of that aim.

So I dare you to realize our set aims one day at a time. Here is how it works:

For tomorrow, Saturday May 1, 2010, I set the aim for me to do two loads of laundry, to vacuum-clean my room, to take care of my bills for May and to have a cup of coffee with my friends. See, those points aren’t complicated or too much for the start and a little treat is in that list as well. Shouldn’t be too hard. At night I will blog about what I was able to accomplish, where I had difficulties and which will be my tasks for the next day. Of course the same rules apply to you, too!

Are you up for the challenge?
