For a PRINTABLE VERSION, click here ____ Apr 1 Commit to an organized exercise plan this month to ensure you stay active. ____ Apr 2 Safely get rid of cleaning supplies you never use. Alternately, use them up or give them to a neighbor or friend who will use them. ____ Apr 3 Check your driveway and sidewalk for cracks. Are repairs necessary. Call a professional and schedule a repair date or get it on your calendar if you plan to fix it yourself. ____ Apr 4 Weed out 10. Every day this week, weed out 10 file folders. Need to get a new filing system in place. My Oh- So-Organized Filing System  can help tremendously. ____ Apr 5 Inventory your gardening tools. Do you need to add a tool to your shopping list? ____ Apr 6 Spruce up your front porch. Sweep steps. Replace your doormat if it has seen better days. Add a spring wreath. ____ Apr 7 No Housework Day. I’m serious. Try to get through this whole day without doing an ounce of housework. ____  Apr 8 Are your taxes done yet? If not, time to finish them up. This year’s tax deadline is on April 18th. ____  Apr 9 Check your garden hoses to be sure they don’t have cracks or holes. Repair or replace them as needed. ____ Apr 10 Wash windows inside and out…one a day. Do this early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the sun isn’t beating down on that particular window. ____ Apr 11 Reseed your lawn if needed. Early spring is the best time to do this. ____ Apr 12 Get rid of cobwebs in your house…and outside your house (around doorways, mailboxes, etc.) ____ Apr 13 Inspect your window screens. Are there holes where bugs can enter? Repair them with a screen repair kit. ____ Apr 14 Do any necessary paint touch-ups in your home. ____ Apr 15 Put your winter coats, boots, and other winter gear into storage. Rotate spring gear (rain boots, rain jackets, etc.) back in so it’s easily accessible. ____ Apr 16 Finalize any Easter plans for tomorrow. Then watch an Easter movie. Some possibilities are The Ten Commandments, Easter Parade, Life of Brian, or Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. ____ Apr 17 Easter Sunday. Visit the cemetery and pay your respects to a loved one. Have a beautiful, peaceful, reflective day afterwards whether you enjoy a solo activity or are celebrating with family and friends. ____ Apr 18 Tax Deadline. Be sure you file your taxes today! ____ Apr 19 Clean out trash cans. Bring your empty trash cans and recycling bins outside onto your driveway. Spray them down with water. Squirt two teaspoons of dish soap (I use Dawn) in each. Turn the bins/cans on their sides and scrub them. A toilet brush works well for this purpose. Then rinse them out thoroughly, be sure all water is emptied out, and allow to dry in the sun. ____ Apr 20 Purge your closet. Only keep clothing that you feel great wearing. Make a vow to yourself to never wear anything you don’t feel wonderful wearing. ____ Apr 21 Schedule a garage sale. ____ Apr 22 Earth Day. Switch from accepting plastic bags at the mall and grocery check-out counter. Bring and use your own reusable bags. ____ Apr 23 Vacuum out the inside of your vehicle(s). ____ Apr 24 Take your vehicle(s) for a car wash. ____ Apr 25 Declutter a drawer, or two, in your bedroom dresser. ____ Apr 26 Get rid of socks, underwear, t- shirts, or bras that have seen better days. Buy or order new ones. ____ Apr 27 Delete a bunch of phone photos you no longer need. Videos as well. ____ Apr 28 Is your eyeglass prescription still working for you? If not, schedule an appointment with your optometrist. ____ Apr 29 Arbor Day. Plant a tree in someone’s memory. ____ Apr 30 Set your May goals for both TO DOs you want to get done, and fun activities you are looking forward to. Back to Monthly Organizing Checklists Index
