Want Your House Clean by Christmas…Follow the ‘Calendar Method’

By the end of the month, you'll have gotten rid of almost 500 pieces of clutter...

We’re less than a month from Christmas and if you’re planning to host guests, there’s a technique called the “calendar method” that can get your house clean by the holidays. Here’s how it works, print out a calendar of the next 30 days. On the first day, get rid of one piece of clutter in your house…either throw it away, give it away, or sell it, but it’s gotta be gone by the end of the day. Then cross off that day on the calendar. On day two, get rid of two pieces of clutter. On day three, three pieces. You’ll start to get in the habit soon and since you have a pre-determined number of things to get rid of every day, you’ll pace yourself. By the end of the month, you’ll have gotten rid of almost 500 pieces of clutter and that will make a difference in how clean your home is.
