Someday 1 - 7, 2011
This week we are in Zone 4: The Master Bedroom
This month's Habit is: Swish and Swipe
Zone 3: Mission #1 Monday
Dear Friends:
This week we are in the bathroom and another room. The other room will be our
Guest Room/ area! This means whatever room that you have that is your dumping ground.
For most people it would be the guest room/area.
Bathroom:
Clear off the Hotspots that have gathered on the back of the tub and the
bathroom sink tops.
Guest/Extra Room
Grab a bag and do a 27 fling boogie of things to throw away. The things that
are obvious trash. We are not doing anything other than getting rid of things
to toss. Set your timer for 15 minutes and do as many 27 flings as you can!
Have fun with these missions!

Zone 3: Mission #2 Tuesday
Dear Friends:
For the Bathroom:
Check the supplies that are needed in your bathroom. Do you need toilet paper,
toothpaste, shampoo, mouthwash, soap etc. Add these to your shopping list this
week. Take a visual inventory to make sure you have what you need so one of your
family members are not stuck in the bathroom yelling for toilet paper, nothing
says "I Love You" like plenty of toilet paper! LOL!
Guest/Extra Room:
Another 27 Fling Boogie but this time with things that need to be put away into
other areas of the house. Get a box or bag and put the things that have obvious
homes and place them in the box or bag. Then go deliver them to their proper
homes.
Have fun!

Zone 3: Mission #3 Wednesday
Dear Friends:
Bathroom Mission: Today you are to wash your bathroom rugs, shower curtains and
accessories. This will take longer than 15 minutes and for those of you that are
working outside the home you may have to schedule this out over the next few
days. In total to take the rugs to the machine and bring them back to the
bathroom is less than 15 minutes but the wait time for the washing machine and
dryer will take up some time.
Guest/Extra Room:
Back in we go - can we say 27 Fling again? This time we are
going to gather up 27 things to give away. Things that have gotten tossed in
this room that we no longer love, need or use. After you have completed this
take the bag straight to the car to drop off at a donation location of your
choice.

Zone 3: Mission #4 Thursday
Dear Friends:
For the bathroom today, take 10 minutes to toss old cosmetics and perfumes. If
you have these items that you have not used for over a year but they are still
hanging around, it is time to dump them.
Let's dump those lipsticks, mascaras and eye-shadows that we have held on to
since high school and college. The key to what to not to keep is:
If you have not worn anything in the past year then....... TOSS TOSS TOSS!
Most cosmetics have a limited shelf life and are harboring grounds for bacteria.
This also applies to lotions and moisturizers.
For the Guest/Extra Room:
If you have noticed the trend that we are working on in this room - it is
de-cluttering! With BabySteps. We are going back in this room for our last 27
fling boogie! Once again look for 27 things that need to be put away. Are
there some clothing items that have been dumped? Coats that need to be hung up?
Books that need to go back to the book shelf? Just 27 things put away
throughout the house back where they belong.
Happy Flinging!

Zone 3: Mission #5 Friday
Dear Friends:
Today I want you to grab those old toothbrushes that you have just for cleaning
and scrub those sink faucets and tub faucets. It is amazing how gross those
faucets can get! Just a little soap and water with the toothbrush will make a
huge difference! I know this is one of those missions that makes you groan but it
takes less than 5 minutes to do and those faucets will shine!
For the Guest/Extra Room:
It does not mater if you still have clutter in this room, after this week of
missions you have made a dent in it and you now know the BabySteps to use to
continue de-cluttering. Today you are going to vacuum the floor. Even if there
is only a little bit of floor showing that is fine. Just vacuum what you can.
When we can see we are making progress we are able to stay motivated and not
feel defeated.
Remember, Progress not Perfection!
Have fun!
