I don’t know about you, but my bedroom is often the messiest room in the house.  I try to keep my things put away, but if I’m in a hurry I just shut the bedroom door.  And if someone is coming over and I need to do a quick clean-up, it’s just too easy to toss things onto my dresser and the chair and… shut the bedroom door.  In fact, I shut the bedroom door after getting dressed for the day and I don’t go back in unless I need something (because if I do, the bed looks too inviting to my sleepy body.) 

So out of sight, out of mind.  I don’t think about picking up any mess in my bedroom until I’m getting ready for bed, tired and done for the day.

Today’s mission is to spend just 15 minutes in your bedroom.  I spent my entire 15 minutes putting away clothes and hauling my kids’ things back to their bedrooms, but if you’ve kept up on your room pretty well, then do something extra in the room that’s supposed to be your sanctuary.  Like one of these:

*dust the dressers and nightstands

*put candles out and light them tonight!

*look at what’s on your dresser-top.  Anything that you haven’t touched in the past month needs to go!

*switch to flannel sheets or add an extra blanket for these colder nights

*vacuum!  I seriously vacuum our bedroom only about 4 times a year because there’s not much (noticeable) need, but if you think about dust and dead skin cells… ew, I’m getting my vacuum out right now.

*If you’ve actually got all of these things done before or during your 15 minutes, then please come to my house and give me a hand with my room!!!
