March Challenge: Organize, Simplify, and Spring Clean

I’m sorry to say I missed the first week this month to fill you in with March’s Challenge but the stomach bug hit us! With 6 people in our family it takes d-a-y-s to hit everyone. No one got unscathed this time. Goodness it was not fun! Theo is currently the only one that still has a touch of it, but he actually ate breakfast and is currently taking a nap right now (we’re over an hour mark now! hallelujah!)  so I’m hopeful it’s almost over!!

Pin It HERE.

March Challenge: organizing, simplifying, and getting ready for Spring! 

I’m obviously not going to put unachievable challenge on my plate with a sick baby this week, but here’s 3 things I challenge us to do that can be done in as little as a few minutes a day!

 1.  Make Phone Calls
Do you have any appointments you’ve been putting off making? Someone you keep meaning to call? Do you need to make a follow up call on something?
I challenge you to make 3 phone calls this week!

Mine include: Making well check visit appointments for all the kids, follow up on my Dyson {it’s getting fixed!}, and call a family member just to chat.

2. Unsubscribe
I think we all can say that every time we check our email we automatically delete some without even opening each one every.single.time. Why not take a few minutes every day this week and open them up, scroll down, and hit the unsubscribe button. It could be blog newsletters, maybe a store that you rarely buy from, or send some to your spam folder (without opening if it looks shady!).
I challenge you to Unsubscribe to 5 email lists.

3. Paperwork
Do you constantly have a stack of papers on your counter, table, or desk? Do you still need to get your tax paperwork together? Do you need to sort through your stack of mail? Paperwork from your child’s school?
I challenge you to tackle it this week!

Pretty simple, right? It is, we just need to take the time to DO IT!

If you need some accountability I’d be happy to follow up with you personally! Send me an email, we’ll chat, and then I will follow up with you this weekend to see how you {and I} did!
