One Bite at a Time: Project 11 {Clean As You Go}

I love this week’s project because it’s such an obvious one: clean as you go. And I love this week’s project because I need it so much.

I am not a naturally neat & tidy person (huge understatement alert). I would love to be someone who enjoyed cleaning or easily kept things from dissolving into chaos, but I’m not. It’s hard for me to even believe those people exist, despite knowing some personally.

So as much as I know to do this, I still need the reminder to actually, you know, do this.

My self-imposed goals for the week:

  • Clean the kitchen (counters/dishes) after every meal instead of letting it pile up all day.
  • Dirty clothes into the basket at the end of the day. (This one is because of my son who tends to leave his clothes scattered everywhere and even pull ours out and add them to the chaos.)
  • Clear off the kitchen table & island after every meal.
  • Daily toy tidy-up

Not much, but it does make a difference in how the house looks, and that makes a difference in how I feel.
