Happy Tuesday from Copenhagen where it was a little misty this morning! A quick sea dip with my Besties always gives me a boost…just like doing a few minutes of decluttering and cleaning at home!
This week we’re in Flylady Zone 1 – the entryway, hall, and dining room for detailed cleaning and decluttering. These are the first areas we see when we walk in the door, so even the tiniest bit of attention here makes a big difference to how our homes feel! What small task can you cross off your list today, do you need a little inspiration?
Here are 3 small tasks you can try in Flylady Zone 1 this week:
- Clear off and wipe down the hall table or sideboard (are there piles of post, keys, or random bits n’ bobs lying around?).
- Shake out the entryway rug or give it a quick vacuum – makes a huge difference in just a minute!
- Declutter FIVE things from your dining room or hall cupboard – less visual clutter, more cozy calm.
And if you’d like a bit of company while you tackle Flylady Zone 1, come “body double” with me in my declutter and clean YouTube video series.
Set your timer for 5 or 10 minutes, pick one task, and know that I will be cheering you on! We are making things better in a few minutes!
Oh, and on the subject of decluttering, my hubby has been decluttering his books. A miracle, ha ha! (If you have followed me for a while, you will know that he LOVES books!)
Did you catch yesterday’s declutter video? We were chatting about decluttering for a clearer mind and I gave you 5 areas to work on this week. Books and crafts being one of them!
I asked hubby if he had any books he could part with since I’m heading to a Swap Party later this week. Lo and behold, just five minutes later, he’d filled an entire box with donations! Woo hoo – my friends are going to be thrilled! Any books you recognise or want to read?
And if you want to know more about our Swap Parties, that’s the subject of my session at Get Organized this year! “Declutter without Guilt: Host a Swap Party”.

Back back to this week… Just like our misty morning dip gave me a fresh start today, even a few minutes in Zone 1 can make your home feel refreshed and cozy. Don’t forget to tell me in the comments which small task you’re doing today (bonus points if it’s in Zone 1!) or what you are doing for self-care. Meanwhile, take a few moments to relax and just breathe…
Hugs
