Today we are purging and organizing the freezer.
If you have been “Just Making Do” for the past 14 days this process should be MUCH easier today than it was on Day One.

I can’t say our house has been chaotic. It has actually been quite calm (and neat) but we have been struggling with more difficult than usual health issues, which of course effects, everything. That, in addition to the all the projects I have going, plus internet issues has definitely set me back on posting this series but enough excuses, let’s get down to business.

Several of you have inquired about our “goals” for 2016 and if we are still on track. I am thrilled to say, for the most part, YES WE ARE!!!
And here is a little update:

Sorting, filing, shredding and scanning is what we will be doing for days 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Yep, you read that right.
We are taking four days to sort, file, shred and scan our papers. Remember you are to be creating, testing and labeling your new systems as you do this.
We are taking four days so that we have NO EXCUSES for not getting a handle on our paperwork before we present it to our families next week.
Still need inspiration? Don’t be afraid to return to Controlling the Chaos-Day 5 for ideas and don’t put it all off until the last day. The idea of taking four days is to remove the stress and be thorough in our processes.
My personal plan is going to work something like this (I hope):

Today we are going to plan and possibly create paper systems that work for each of us individually. Yes, I said systems, plural. The goal isn’t just to create a filing system that you drop things in and forget about for months at a time, but a working, useful system for everything.

Yep, you read that right. Today you are simply gathering all your loose papers, magazines, previous calendars (wall and purse), receipts, artwork, etc… I don’t mean the ones from 20, 10 or even 5 years ago. I mean the ones laying around your house now. The ones you had every intention of filing, paying, scanning,shredding, or using but never got around to last year.
Gather.every.last.one.
We are going to tame the paper monster this week! By the end of next week every paper will have a controlled, organized home the minute it comes in your front door.

Take the plunge. Try something new.
Change up your menu and try that “exotic” food you bought six months ago.
Yep, I am talking about that specialty item you have never been able to pronounce and have NO idea what to do with.
Google it. Dig out granny’s recipe books and see if it existed when she made granddad dinner at home every night.

Today we begin the journey to not only decluttering and organizing but taking control and preventing the clutter, chaos, stress and disorganization each new week can bring.
How are we going to do that?
By creating a weekly checklist.
Sit down with yourself and other housemates and make a note of what items need to be completed on a weekly basis.
We recently implemented the checklist below and we love having it.

Ours is already struggling!
I honestly didn’t expect to struggle with “Just Make Do-January” until at least week two but we have already had a few comments from my teens and hubby.
