January 13-Tops of Refrigerator & Microwave

Good morning everyone!

Today's task involves the inevitable domino effect.  You want to clean one area but you avoid it because that area means you have to clean another area because you need that second area to put some of the things from the first area!

For me, one of those domino effect junk areas is our daily task for today,Friday, January 13th:

***Clean off the TOPs of your refrigerator & microwave!***
(don't forget to wipe them down after you clean them off)

I know!  Those poor areas get junked up fast!  Once you do this one, you can either go cold turkey and try to keep stuff off those surfaces or put something like a basket on each to put things into but once it's filled, you put the things away. 

Sneak peak for Monday, January 16th that you may have off and/or kids home so may want to start over the weekend--we'll be cleaning out our games (closets, cabinets, etc).  This was a natural "next" for me--as 1 of our 2 game areas I needed for my refrigerator stuff (the domino effect!).

Don't worry about all the other cluttered areas you may start seeing more easily in your home now...we'll get to them in time!
Part of the reason for de-cluttering is to create more freedom to also relax & enjoy life, so on that note,
Enjoy your weekend!
