See how many hot spots you can get out. This one will last the whole month so we can hit each zone area. 
 
Remember only 15 minutes at a time. 
 
Report back to let us all know how you are doing.

My laundry has become my biggest dumping ground.  I must do at least 2 min everyday in there.
I also suffer from hidden hotspots.  aka drawers/cupboards.
Yesterday I decluttered & washed 1 shelf in my pantry.
Today I decluttered & washed the junkfood shelf in kitch.  Tossed 7 bags of stale chips/crumbs.

BTW, I think this is a great challenge. For yrs I live in CHAOS, then 5yrs ago when I first joined FL, I did hotspot drills 3x a day on  the kitch table & counters.(HUGE dumping grounds).  And what a HUGE diff it made.  Then it went down to 2x a day, sometimes once a day.  A big bonus was dh picking up the habit too.
CHAOS no longer lives on my counters & kitch table.

Daily hotspot drills in the laundry room are keeping it from being a dumping ground.

Working my hotspots a couple of times a day:
  • Entryway
  • End tables and ottoman in livingroom
  • Countertop by sink in kitchen
  • Nightstand in bedroom
  • Desktop in office
  • Car (trying to declutter it everytime I drive--only leave my workbag and work badge in there)
  • Bathroom countertops
  • Hallway

I am checking these before I go to bed and before I leave for work. Something that is working for me: when I leave a room I scan it quickly to see if there is anything that belongs in the room I'm heading to and take it w/ me. Such as: library books in the entry to the basket in the office where I keep them, bills to the office, folded laundry away in dressers, purse hanging on hook in entry, grocery bags (use the cloth ones) back into car trunk, cleaner back to cleaning closet (filled container at kitchen sink)...

I would like to get into better habit of putting things away immediately after I use them or not sitting them down where they don't belong in the first place but I'm getting better at this....babysteps!
