No-No-November Week 2: Ditch It!
Where the heck did the first week of November go? Although things might be a little different this year going into the holidays there will still be lots of opportunity for joy & celebrations so let’s be ready!
Join me in using November to reduce, remove, quit, stop, and minimize as many nonessential tasks, belongings, activities, habits, and projects as possible so that every minute of the holiday season can be enjoyed to the fullest. Hopefully, this proactive effort will usher in the holiday season with a rejuvenated home, schedule, and heart.
This plan is specifically for a No-No-November. It has a short timeframe & is pre-holiday oriented. There will not be time to clean out the junk drawer, the attic, or under the kitchen sink. However, focusing on 6 categories of clutter will guarantee the biggest bang for the least effort.
1.) Ditch Big Things — The bigger the item, the bigger the difference it will make when it’s gone. The extra space will come in handy as you try to keep the house clean, set up holiday decorations, or keep your work-from-home office organized. Pitch that broken chair that you are never going to fix. Toss those 2 icky pillows that are flat and brownish. Chuck the TV in the back bedroom that is deeper than it is wide.
