____ Apr 1
Clean the microwave.
____ Apr 2
Start cleaning up your garden and lawn for the season. Trim and
prune as needed, re-seed, add mulch, etc.
____ Apr 3
Organize your T-shirt drawer.
____ Apr 4
Easter Sunday. Easter (as well as the season of spring) signifies
renewal and hope. Wake up today with a new sense of celebration,
goals, and forward thinking for the days ahead.
____ Apr 5
Mop and sweep floors in your kitchen, bathroom, or both.
____ Apr 6
Inventory your collection of books. Donate a box or two.
.____ Apr 7
No Housework Day. I know it’s not easy to take the day off from
all housework…and personally, I’ll still be sure the bathroom and
kitchen stay tidy in my home as always. But, I won’t be doing any
heavy-duty cleaning today. In fact, I’ll use the time, that I would
normally invest cleaning, doing something nice for myself instead.
____ Apr 8
Check your driveway and walkway for cracks. Fix or schedule a repair
as needed.
____ Apr 9
Fill bike tires with air and check chains to get them ready for an
impromptu bike ride when the mood strikes. Be sure you have bike
helmets for the whole family.
____ Apr 10
Sweep the front porch. Inspect for cobwebs and remove those if you
see any.
____ Apr 11
National Pet Day. Do something ‘spa-like’ for your pet…like a DIY
bath or professional grooming session, a nail trim, etc. Show your
pet a lot of extra love today.
____ Apr 12
Wash windows. If you have a lot, do one or two a day.
____ Apr 13
Weed out your junk drawer.
____ Apr 14
Declutter your clothes closet. Try to fill one bag with clothing and
accessories you never wear…and then donate.
____ Apr 15
Get your taxes done. The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue
Service announced that the federal income tax filing due date for
individuals for the 2020 tax year will be automatically extended from
April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021. Still, it’s best to get them done today
or well BEFORE the due date.
____ Apr 16
National Stress Awareness Day. Don’t deny yourself daily
stress relief. Start a 10-minute stress relief regimen today (like a new
Yoga pose, time for meditation, journal-writing, etc.) and continue
every day to follow.
____ Apr 17
Clean out a section of your garage.
____ Apr 18
Add wall-mounted storage, to your garage, basement, or hobby
room, to keep things neat and off the floor.
____ Apr 19
Are you a crafter? If so, weed out any craft supplies that you’ve been
storing (unused) for years.
____ Apr 20
Check wooden boards on backyard decks…my husband will be
replacing a few deck boards this year. He always has fun projects
when spring arrives. (Smile.)
____ Apr 21
Administrative Professionals Day. Give a note or gift of
appreciation to an administrative professional in your work
office…or in a business office that provides you with a service (like
your accountant’s or dentist’s office.)
____ Apr 22
Earth Day. Spend time outside today in celebration of our planet.
____ Apr 23
Clean and organize the kitchen cabinets. You can do a marathon
session and do them all at once if you’re feeling really ambitious.
Otherwise, handling one or two a day works best for most people.
Better to get a few done…than none.
____ Apr 24
Dust off light fixtures and ceiling fans.
____ Apr 25
Remove everything from your home office and/or work office desk
and give it a good cleaning.
____ Apr 26
Do you have a set of mismatched dishes, glasses, mugs, etc. that
you’ve been meaning to replace? That may be a fun purchase for
you this month, if it’s within your budget. Once you have the new set,
donate the older one.
____ Apr 27
Organize the linen closet…or linen storage area.
____ Apr 28
Deep clean the bathroom…clean all those nooks and crannies that
you don’t get to during smaller routine cleaning sessions.
____ Apr 29
Have you evaluated your bills versus your budget lately? As you get
your bills this month, call those companies to see if they can lower
the payment amounts. Some won’t…but some will. It always pays to
check.
____ Apr 30
Arbor Day. Attend an in-person or virtual class on tree or plant
care. Consider planting a tree in commemoration of a loved one.
