Three-week Challenge: One Room

[ninetydegrees]

Do you manage with weekly cleaning but keep putting off less frequent tasks? I have a challenge for you: get one room completely clean/tidied up by March 28th. Get your stepladder and dust the top of those cabinets. And isn't it time to wash those curtains? When was the last time you moved your furniture and hoovered behind it? Threw out or donated what you no longer needed?

Come on, just choose a room and do what you always postpone to never later. Feel free to comment to say which room you want to tackle, mention whenever you managed to accomplish something - small or big - so that we can cheer you on, and ask for or share some tips.

(P.S. Thanks, Yvi!)

grocery shopping

[mllesays]

Grocery shopping is the worst chore in the world for me.  How do you make yourselves do it?

It's not that I think I'm particularly bad at it — I definitely never buy enough produce, but it's always because I'm scared I won't eat it in time — but rather that I loathe it with a passion and would rather eat all the food in the house before I force myself out to buy new things.

Any tips, tricks, suggestions?
