Thanks for doing this!
My challenge to myself: declutter the office before DH's parents come to stay with us in early May

Habits: taking my vitamin and moisturizing my face properly
Hot spot: dining room table and living room bookshelf

prov31craftymom · 04-12-2015, 10:43 PM

My challenge is cleaning my basement.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

My habits are taking my supplements and school daily.

Hot spots are couch and dining room table.

The Tickle Momster · 04-13-2015, 07:14 AM

I've never done well with these.

might be interesting to print the list and share with the kids.

Hot spots - we moved this last year, so my hot spots are changing. One is the shelf under the clock, one is the counter next to the freezer. I have a floor not spot too.

Habit - need to think on this one

RiverRock · 04-13-2015, 07:38 AM

Hot Spots: Kitchen desk/Accent chair in master bedroom/Laundry counter
New Habits: Drink 2 L of water and keep a food log/journal
Challenge: Room of Doom

My points:

mamamonkey · 04-13-2015, 09:25 AM

Hot spots: kitchen counter, kitchen table, couch

Challenge: Declutter 300 more items over the 6 weeks (to count towards my 2015 in 2015 goal).

10 items decluttered today; 290 more to go

RiverRock · 04-13-2015, 10:20 AM

Do we need to post on the GCM 5 Minute Challenge/To Do thread to get points? A number of GCM ladies (and a few others I don't recognize) have made it to this FB page where it is easier to post photos of messes and progress. Does this count? https://www.facebook.com/groups/2640...group_activity It is a closed group, but it hopefully brings you to the page to request to join if you haven't already.

charla · 04-13-2015, 10:22 AM

I'm not sure I can do this all six weeks but I'd like to follow along as I can if that's okay. So do we copy the list into a post and keep track of points every day in that post?

ETA:

Challenge: planting, weeding, watering garden and flowers - I tend to plant the garden and then get too busy to water and weed.

If I can keep this going for the six weeks, then maybe I won't fall off the wagon later in the summer.

Habits: keep up with kids for school each week as well as grading, take five minutes every day to deep breathe and meditate which hopefully will help my stress

Hotspots: desktop, dining room table

derdsgirl · 04-13-2015, 10:24 AM

My points:

Choosing three hotspots is hard, we have more than three, and I always just rotated them throughout the week before. By the end of the first week I might have a better idea which are the worst.

Challenge: I have an idea, but I want another day to decide.

Habits: homeschool and my own bedtime routine

I think its fun to do it on here, but I guess you don't have to. I didn't understand how the FB group worked, so I never post there.

You can keep track however you want. Just make sure to make a new post with your totals on Saturday.

RiverRock · 04-13-2015, 12:02 PM

The FB page is easy for me to upload photos. I'll try to post here, but take points if I post on FB and forget to post on a thread here.

marbles · 04-13-2015, 01:47 PM

My habits: full bedtime routine (wash face and all that, since the new baby I tend just crash

) and check gardens for watering/weeding
Challenge: clean laundry room! I have boxes and bags of outgrown clothes, out of season clothes, school supplies. I need to get it off the floor and into some type of order.

marbles · 04-13-2015, 06:44 PM

Monday, April 17 total:

750

Edit: forgot to post my total after folding laundry for the night. Question abou that, today I folded two loads of laundry. Some days I wash one, dry another, fold a third, and put away a fourth. Not all the same load so would that count as 100 points, but washing/drying/folding/putting away all the same load is 50?

RealLifeMama · 04-13-2015, 07:22 PM

I did not get as much done today as I'd hoped!
Anyway...
My hotspots are my dining room table, a certain corner in my kitchen, and our piano.
My big project is to sell/give away/store the outgrown clothing we have. Right now, we have one closet packed full of it, as well as a mountain of it in my bedroom. A huge mountain. (anyone need some?)
If no one has objections, I might pick your brains about what to do with some pieces.
My habits are 1) Do my rehab stretches and 2) no internet past 11pm

I have boxes and bags of outgrown clothes, out of season clothes, school supplies. I need to get it off the floor and into some type of order. __________________ Mary K wife to Daniel for 16 years mom to 13 year old the Girl and 11 year old the Boy and 8 year old Tiny Almost always posting from my phone.

Question abou that, today I folded two loads of laundry. Some days I wash one, dry another, fold a third, and put away a fourth. Not all the same load so would that count as 100 points, but washing/drying/folding/putting away all the same load is 50? __________________ Mary K wife to Daniel for 16 years mom to 13 year old the Girl and 11 year old the Boy and 8 year old Tiny Almost always posting from my phone.

My hotspots are my dining room table, a certain corner in my kitchen, and our piano. My big project is to sell/give away/store the outgrown clothing we have. Right now, we have one closet packed full of it, as well as a mountain of it in my bedroom. A huge mountain. (anyone need some?) If no one has objections, I might pick your brains about what to do with some pieces. My habits are 1) Do my rehab stretches and 2) no internet past 11pm __________________ A, Mother of Dancing Diva, 21 Boy Wonder 19, Mr. Cool 15, and Ninja 13 Sunshine, 11, and 8 year old Joy
