I want you to think about the things you need to do every week. Select
which days you want to do these things, put it on your calendar for
next week, and stick to it. Make an appointment with yourself LOL
!ry it for one week. It may surprise you that your week can revolve
around these appointments. !his is what I do. "ith the #asic
"eekly $lan, we decide on a day to do things and stick to it. I
never knew how much this would help my lack of organi%ation.
&nowing that I do my shopping on !hursday, my cleaning on
Monday and my desk day on 'riday allows me the freedom to
schedule things according to the day. "hen you know what the day
is, you know what has to be done. It is another way to be on

A. Run some !er& hot water into the sin%. 3ill one side at a time to the rim. Pour a cup of
household "leach into the hot water. #et it sit for E hour. 9ow' pull the plug with a pair of
tongs. If &ou don2t ha!e tongs' then scoop some of the water out of the sin% into the
other sin% and use &our hand to pull the plug ,wear glo!es and don2t get the "leach:
water on &our clothes-.
I. Rinse &our sin% well.
J. ?se some cleanser ,)omet' 0a7' or Ba%ing +oda- and scru" &our sin%. 8nsure &ou

out from under &our fingernails.
K. )lean around the faucets too. You ma& need an old tooth"rush or dental floss.
B. 9ow' get out &our window cleaner' I use Winde7' and gi!e it a good shine. If &ou still
don2t li%e the wa& it loo%s' then &ou could tr& a light coat of lemon oil or oli!e oil or
e!en some car wa7. Fust %now that the sin% is clean and doesn2t ha!e to "e perfect.
