When you want to stay organized, there are SO MANY little projects that need to get done around the house.

Do you feel like you never have the time? That the chores are just endless?

I thought it may help to break things down a little. Plan on doing a few chores within each quarter of the year. I have created some lists and will post one each quarter if you choose to follow along. These are in no particular order and are not seasonal…they are just off the top of my head.

CLEAN OUT UNDER THE SINK

- Remove everything and wipe down the cabinet
- Go through and throw away empty products
- Find caddies/storage for sponges or other loose items
- Get rid of products you don’t use

CLEAN OUT THE FRIDGE

- Remove everything and clean shelves and bins
- Go through and get rid of expired items
- Consolidate items if you have multiples
- Make a list of what needs replenishing

CLEAN AND ORGANIZE THE PANTRY

- Remove everything and clean the shelves
- Go through and get rid of expired items
- Consolidate items if you have multiples
- Find caddies/storage for loose packets and other small items
- Make a list of what needs replenishing
- Donate any non perishables if they won’t be eaten

UPDATE YOUR RECIPES

- Eliminate any recipes that are too complicated or time consuming
- Keep recipes you know your family will love
- Find a box, bin or binder to keep your chosen recipes all in one place

SORT THROUGH RECEIPTS

- Divide receipts into business or household
- Use the receipts to check through your credit card charges (avoid any fraud on your card)
- Keep business receipts in a safe place so you can find them at tax time.
- Shred receipts when you no longer need them

That list doesn’t seen too bad if you have 3 months to do it…RIGHT?

I’d love to hear how you do!
