For a PRINTABLE VERSION, click here ____ Feb 1 No Politics Day. Doesn’t it sound refreshing to take a break from any political issues, posts, conversations, political news, etc.? If the idea of that sounds great to you, today is the perfect day to take that breather, especially if political-related matters have been stressful for you and your family. ____ Feb 2 Groundhog Day. It’s a great day to get a head start on any task on your list that is spring- related. Perhaps you might start planning your garden, or call around to find a new lawn service company, or find out what spring classes are going to be in your area and get yourself on the schedule. ____ Feb 3 Delete 50 unnecessary email messages. See if you can accomplish this in 15 minutes or less. ____ Feb 4 Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. Do your own “organizing” triathlon today. 1) Donate one bag of items you’re not using. 2) Invest 15 minutes putting items back in their appropriate homes. 3) Clean one area thoroughly. Then reward yourself tonight by watching the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies on TV. ____ Feb 5 Organize some photos…printed photos or digital.  ____ Feb 6 Clean the inside of your desk…either at home, at work, or both. .____ Feb 7 Organize a section of your kitchen pantry. Weed out anything old, expired, or that you’ll never use. ____ Feb 8 Give yourself permission to recycle old greeting cards you’ve received. Sure, keep a few that are extra meaningful to you and give yourself the go ahead to bid adieu to the rest. ____ Feb 9 Find a file folder in your filing system that is filled with papers you no longer need. Most of us can do that easily! Recycle the papers. Feel free to put a blank label on the file folder and reuse for another category…or pitch the file folder too if it’s torn or smells musty. ____ Feb 10 Do you have a fish, a hamster, or any pet that lives in a cage or tank? If so, do a deep clean of their living quarters today. ____ Feb 11 Find a book in your collection  that you enjoyed, but won’t read again. Pass it on to a friend or relative. ____ Feb 12 Weed out (and clean out if you have time) the area under your kitchen sink. ____ Feb 13 Superbowl Sunday. Make a new chili recipe and homemade cornbread. Serve it tonight while you and your family are enjoying the football game. If football is not your thing, play a board game instead. ____ Feb 14 Valentine’s Day. Do something that is heart- healthy, like making a low-fat, low-salt, low-sugar meal for dinner or starting a new exercise regimen. ____ Feb 15 Clean your computer keyboard. Turn it upside down to release any dust, crumbs, etc. Then, use a Q- tip dabbed with just a touch of rubbing alcohol to clean between the keys, if necessary, for anything that may feel sticky. ____ Feb 16 Are there any food bits sitting in the basket of your dishwasher? Clean those out today. ____ Feb 17 Clean your microwave. Wipe off any food bits. Remove and thoroughly clean the glass turntable plate. ____ Feb 18 Replenish postage if you’re running out. Stop at the post office or order online. ____ Feb 19 Weed out five items in your clothes closet, and/or help your kids do the same. ____ Feb 20 Schedule an eye exam. Get new eyeglasses if your old prescription is no longer helping you. ____ Feb 21 Does your kitchen feel cluttered? It may be time to let go of some appliances you never use that are taking up prime real estate on your kitchen counter. ____ Feb 22 Recycle a stack of old magazines. ____ Feb 23 Weed out old pens, markers and highlighters that no longer write. ____ Feb 24 Delete old email folders that are no longer useful to you. ____ Feb 25 Organize the icons on your computer desktop.
