THE PAMPERED PINAY: GOAL-GETTER: Oh-So-Organized

By FRANCINE m AIgu E

Some folks want to get fit. Some want to save up. Some want (read: need) to get more organized. But tidying up and staying on top of chores doesn’t have to be so hard. (Who made this mess?)

Just a little effort each day is worth it. (Seriously, who made this mess?!)

We all deserve living and work spaces that reflect and inspire the best in us. Taking responsibility for our space reminds us of the control we have over the (at least immediate) world around us. We needn’t let ourselves be bogged down by stuff that doesn’t play a meaningful role in our lives. And we can’t neglect necessary chores and responsibilities. We need to treat our space and belongings with the kind of respect and care we (ought to) have for ourselves.

Ready to be oh-so-organized?

Kaya natin ‘to!

Mail It Monday

Birthday cards, thank you cards, bill payments...and those pesky emails and texts that bulk up quickly... Lighten your load early in the week, and catch up on correspondence on Monday. It will feel good to start off the week so productive.

Tabletop Tuesday Clutter is no one’s friend. A cluttered space makes for a cluttered mind. Busy people need to be able to find and access things quickly and deserve living and work spaces that are neat and inspiring. Piles of files, junk mail and unnecessary knickknacks don’t make for peace and productivity. Start by simply cleaning off tabletops. With a place for everything and everything in its place, you stress less and make more room for moments of joy and greatness. (And you can never have enough joy and greatness.)

Wipe Down Wednesday

Cleaning can be overwhelming if you wait to do it all at once. Like with most big projects, gradual progress = manageable progress. Wiping down surfaces midweek helps make for a strong finish and quicker clean up at the end of the week. *Pro Tip: Got multiple folks in your household or shared workspace? Hand everyone two sanitizing wipes each and watch the process go realllllly fast!*

Throw Out Thursday

Expired snacks and coupons. Leftovers and makeup that have seen better days. [Insert your choice of things that you can’t remember why you saved it or what it’s good for here.] A purposeful life isn’t just full of “stuff.” The things (and people) that surround you should give you life. Don’t let stuff (again, and people) crowd your space, your opportunities, or your potential. Say goodbye to the rusted and rotting, and say hello to a fabulous future!

File or Frame It Friday

Some things you just can’t throw away, and you don’t have to. Whether it’s an item with sentimental value or important paperwork, file or intentionally display it. Something so special should have a special place. (Tucked in the nooks and crannies of your home or office where you’re likely to forget about it doesn’t count.)

Soak It Saturday

Laundry. Linens. (To the tune of “Let It Snow” — Let it soak. Let it soak. Let it soak...Or, if you prefer...To the tune of Frozen’s “Let It Go” — Let it soooaaak. Let it soooooooaaaaaak.) I mean...

We have to wash them sometime right?

Suds Up Sunday Ok, so we wiped things down on Wednesday. (Go us! *high five*) Now we can quickly tackle the areas that need actual scrubbing. Nowhere is this done more than in the bathroom. Sinks. Check! Toilets. Check! Floors.

Check! And, finally...the tub and shower. Check! Sure, it’s not glamorous...but you know what is?

The opportunity to take a weekend bubble bath (Hello, Pampered Pinay Time with lavender suds, soothing tunes and a clay facial mask!) in a sparkling clean tub before the weekday madness begins all over again. Drown those cares and worries! And as for that weary body that’s worked so hard all week... Let it soooaaak. Let it soooooooaaaaaak. ;) You deserve it my friend.

See? You’re already conquering your de-cluttering challenge like the champ you are. Proud of you! Proud of us! Check back every week for ways to pamper yourself and those you love. Why? The answer is simple: YOU DESERVE IT, Hardworking Kababayans.... Do you want to send a love note at The Filipino Press ? Email us at filpressads@aol.com

We love to hear from you our dear readers!
