It's off to the LAUNDRY ROOM!  Whether you've started your homeschool year or not, you can still do this!  We're not making time-consuming lists... we're not putting it off until tomorrow...
 

1. Go into your laundry room and take a picture (seriously... TAKE A PICTURE!  This will be evidence... um, I mean, this will be an encouragement when you're done and you see what you've accomplished!)
2. Grab a couple of boxes or garbage bags... One is for garbage, one is for give-away or garage sale, and one is for keeping (but dealing with LATER... a box really is best for this one). 
   
3. Have a pad of paper and pen to mark down any thoughts or things that need to be done... you're not getting side-tracked, so don't leave the room to do this!
4. Make sure you have water, the phone (but only answer if you need to!... you don't want to stop!), music to get 'ya going, and anything else you might need so you don't need to stop.  (Making sandwhiches for the kids now, so you don't have to stop later to feed them is a good idea too... speaking of kids... I like to have mine help me for a 30 minutes, and then have them take a "break" for 30 minutes (computer time, a movie, outside time...).
   
5. Start the furthest corner away from the door.  Begin the "bulldozing" process. (The bulldozing process is simply moving through the room like a bulldozer... not stopping to take something out (therefore increasing your chances of being side-tracked) and continuing until you reach the doorway. 
   
6. Since this is the laundry room, if there's a pile of clothes, be sure you're doing the laundry loads (one right after another) to get those caught up as well (Be sure to throw away any socks with holes in and put on a list of things to eventually buy... remember that pad of paper?).  Put the clean clothes in baskets and get them out of there... don't worry about putting them away right now... you're just concentrating on the laundry room!  (If your kids are old enough to put their clothes away, or help little ones, then do that!)
7. Once you make it to the door way, (after stopping through out the day... hey, you're a mom first and we know what that entails!) take your boxes or bags out... put the garbage one in the garbage... put the give away one in the car and take it immediately or put the garage sale one in the garage, and put the keep box in a place where you will go through soon (or in the next room we'll be working on, which is the kitchen).
8. Now, finish by sweeping, wiping down the washer and dryer, and any other cleaning that needs to take place (if you weren't doing that while bulldozing)...call in the recruits for this if you have to!.
9. Step back, pat yourself on the back, and TAKE A PICTURE!
10. Be sure to post this on your blog (with the pictures!) and please make reference to this site so others can be encouraged to get on "TRACK" as well!

Blessings to you and yours!  Now go and get that laundry room done!  We'll be working on it today and tomorrow!  REMEMBER: The enemy loves chaos, and will do what he can to prevent you getting this done!  Don't get discouraged!  Call on the Lord to give you strength!  You can do it!

In Him,
Amy
