PRE CHALLENGE TASK 1

by Kat - The Organised Housewife August 9, 2014September 3, 2018

CREATE YOUR 20 DAY BINDER

During the challenge I will provide you with lots of printables:

  • Daily task sheet
  • To-do list
  • Checklists
  • Routine charts

SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR THIS TASK:

  • A4 Ring binder folder (I purchase mine from Kmart or Officeworks)
  • A printer
  • Pack of 4 dividers or place the page dividers into plastic sleeves and use tabs to label the sleeves (I purcahsed my tabs from Kmart for $2).
  • Have on hand at least 40 pieces of A4 paper to print the printables

Steps for this task:

[wlchecklist name=’PreTask1′]

Trim the spine page just shy of the text (2mm) so its easier to place into the binder.  I find it easier to place the spine into the binder when the binder is completely open.

 Keep your folder on hand so you can add your daily sheets to it each week.

Daily Tasks

You will find on each page a daily task sheet to correspond with the tasks within the challenge.  You can print these from each page individually, or at the beginning of each week you will find all 5 daily sheets for that week on the weekly pages.

I just wanted to say thank you for this! My house is in a complete mess – clutter, toys, clothes, stuff that i don’t use… but I have finally had enough. I am preping to move into my own place with my little Mr 6 yr old now that I have come to terms with a failed relationship, (Where I was depressed and it was a very toxic relationship – guess that’s how my house got the way it is)

I look forward to getting my house sorted, we well as my life and I am excited about the future and the habits I will be making.

Once again thank you
Kind Regards
Shelly =)

Binder and paper ordered – ran out of paper for for binder, so I can finish task 1 tomorrow. Just binned the hopeless cleaners I have been employing and looking forward to starting to get on top of things after the children have gone back to school (half term here next week) On the way to a less cluttered house – fingers crossed!

Done! Well, it was done from last time……I was without proper electricity for weeks last time and it was too hard. Feeling far more optimistic for a good result this time around!

Kat - The Organised Housewife October 22, 2016 - 1:49 pm

Great start Carmel, glad you had paper this time!

Prior to having my twins last year, I was on the ball with everything I was so OCD. Now that I have lost the last year to total chaos, I was so happy to find you Kat as I finally feel I have a chance to get back to the organised me that I was. Just feeling so overwhelmed with our 3 girls. With a hubby that is so cranky at me letting our home go to rubbish on one hand and in the next breath understanding. I look around me and if I don’t take a breath I know I would drown. Cannot wait to get started as I failed earlier this year in trying to do your 20 day challenge. Loads of organised Love. Xxoo

Ooh Lisa, I hear you twins are hard work, I found routine was my best friend and helped my sanity. You mentioned your hubby is understanding, but cranky, what is the biggest thing that you think makes him cranky? I’m not a believer that you must have the house clean and tidy to make him happy, it really should be a joint effort as looking after kids is a full-time job. But for a happier home life and stop the cranks, find that one thing and add that to your routine to help you keep ontop of it. LOOL (loads of organised love, love it!!!).

I’ve completed this task.
It’s going to take me longer than most. Struggling to find the time.

Reply
Kat - The Organised Housewife October 12, 2016 - 2:23 pm

Take your time Jennifer, if you find it hard to complete the tasks each day, just do one or two each day and the rest the next, then once all complete follow onto the next day’s tasks.

Well printed off downloads and off to purchase folder next. Can’t wait to get started. Started spring cleaning by going through wardrobes recently but lost my mojo so dining room remains a cluttered cave !!! Ugh

How are you going Sheryl?

Reply
Sheryl Frewin October 13, 2016 - 3:29 pm

Slow to start. Wish I had started this when I was on holidays. Back at work & time poor again. Hopefully, being organised will make time for me.

Not too slow Sherly, at least you have made a start 🙂
