On January 5, 2012 I will be demonstrating a class on cleaning organization. My main objective for this is to start little! Line upon line. In Alma 37:6 it says, by small and simple things are great things brought to pass and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. So we are going to confound the wise!!! We will start by just doing some small tasks that take from 5 to 15 min. We all have 5 to 15 minutes scattered throughout our day! We just need to snatch those Small and Simple Seconds and off we go! The first Small and Simple Seconds (SSS) task I have for you is to shine your kitchen sink! Now this first time is going to take longer but once you get that done we will learn a 10 second task that will keep it clean! First things first get to your kitchen sink and lets empty all the dishes from the sink. I didn't say do all the dishes just set them to the side for now. Fill the sink to the very top with hot bleach water. A cup in each side will do. (I only do one side at a time so I still have a sink available) Let this set for one hour. Rinse well. Get some ajax or comet etc and scrub the sink. Rinse well. You might need to get an old toothbrush or a razor blade for the next step of getting off the hard water and scum that just attaches itself. Go to town gals! Be careful with a razor to not scratch your surface but it works well on hard water build up. If you want to shine the sink even more clean it with some window cleaner and you should have a shiny new sink! Yea! Are you still wondering how this can only take 10 seconds? Each time you use the sink just wipe it down with a dishtowel. Dry everything off and wala. It is just as beautiful! I keep my dishcloth right by my sink so it is always there when I need it. Now we have our first SSS task completed we will begin a journey of adding SSST(task) until we have built a SSSSchedule! (no I didn't stutter! Lol.) I like the information the flylady has. Her website is flylady.net. She has inspired me! Keeping a clean house is definitely a spiritual matter. In D&C 29:34 it says Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal. So have we been given a law by the Lord to keep our house clean? Because this scripture says if we have a law from the Lord then it is a spiritual matter. Well in D&C 88:119 it says Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God; That is why I always feel good when I have a clean home. Because Heavenly Father wants me to have a clean home! Now I am not real great at this and will learn as we go too! If I try to do the whole house all at once I will crash and burn! So to prevent that lets start small! Tomorrow I will post a SSSS. Yes you got it Small and Simple Seconds Schedule. As for the rest of today? I know you want to do more but just keep that sink shiny. If you do want to do more. Have the family stay in the kitchen after dinner and clean all the dishes. It can be done in 10 minutes with the family helping. If you have to do it in the morning it could take upwards of an hour!
