Catch up on your ironing while watching Bill Murray's 1993 Movie, Groundhog Day. ____ Feb 3 Launder and change bed linens. ____ Feb 4 Vacuum under the sofa cushions. ____ Feb 5 Look around. Do you see something that needs to be put away? Get that item back into its proper home.  ____ Feb 6 Browse through your coat closet. Remove anything you (and family members) don’t need. Place those items in a donation bag and drive that bag to your local charity. .____ Feb 7 Tidy up the laundry room. ____ Feb 8 Clean Out Your Computer Day. Celebrate by getting rid of 25 files (old documents, spreadsheets, images, etc.) you no longer need. ____ Feb 9 Grab a box from your basement or attic…and weed it out. Or, can you get rid of it all? You can have a clutter- free basement or attic! ____ Feb 10 Do you have people you barely know, or people who are a bit toxic, on your Facebook friend list? Review your friend list and “unfriend” as applicable…10 at a time. ____ Feb 11 Safely weed out expired over- the-counter medications. Replenish your supply if needed. ____ Feb 12 Organize your cooking utensils. Use a drawer divider to help keep them sorted and accessible. If you’d like, add a holder to your counter for frequently-used cooking utensils so they’re “at the ready” when needed. ____ Feb 13 Always wasting time trying to identify which cord goes with which device or piece of equipment? Start labeling them today. ____ Feb 14 Valentine’s Day. Get together with a friend (in person or Zoom) and make a bucket list of fun things you’d like to do together. These can be super simple, like going out for a walk in a new neighborhood, visiting an art museum, having a virtual lunch, etc. ____ Feb 15 Get rid of 100 email messages you no longer need. Delete, delete, delete…and then delete…as fast as possible. ____ Feb 16 Commit to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day and get moving.

Get rid of any that have seen better days. ____ Feb 19 Call someone (a friend, neighbor, relative) who lives alone…just to say hi. ____ Feb 20 Love Your Pet Day. Organize your pet’s food area so everything is clean and neat. Then, invest time doing something your pet loves…petting, brushing, walking outside, etc. ____ Feb 21 Stop reading a book you’re not enjoying. It’s OK.
