My bedroom actually looked pretty neat yesterday. Bed was made beautifully, not much on the floor....it felt good.
But as I was laying there for a little Sunday nappipoo, I began to look around. First at my dresser....and I noticed a few miscellaneous items on top: a pen, a tube of anti-itch cream (poison ivy), a sock, a scarf, a magazine and a phone. Also a safety pin and a stack of razor blades from the last painting job.
Eight Things! I was surprised, because it really didn't LOOK all that bad....until I started counting.
Well, if there were eight things just on my dresser top, I began wondering just how many things were out of place in the rest of my bedroom. I glanced at my night stand and the rat pile on the floor. 5 Things there.
Husband's night stand and surrounding territory: 7 things
Clothes draped over chairs: 3
Cups: 1
Floor: 2 pairs of shoes, a cook book and box of greeting cards.....
I stopped counting at 32.
For a "Neat" bedroom, that's a lot of things that add up to "Not So Neat."
Today's Small Thing could be a real boon to your points. Simply count up each thing you put away in your bedroom, and get one point for each item.
POINTS: 1 per item, limit 100.
Mercy me! There's No WAY you could have 100 things out of place in your bedroom! Or. is. there??
OK, you can go into other parts of your house....but only after you've done all there is to do in the bedroom.
How many things did you find in your bedroom? I dare you to share! :)
