Cleaning your kitchen as you normally do is the best place to start this project.
Do the dishes.
Clear the counters and sink.
Load and start the dishwasher if you have one.
Hand wash anything that won’t fit.
Basically, go to bed with a clean kitchen. You know, implement our habit for the month. You’ll never regret waking up to a clean kitchen!
Tomorrow morning (or later today if you have time), unload the dishwasher so you can refill it as you go.
Make it a habit to clean your kitchen every night and unload the dishwasher/dish rack each morning. If you continue to clean your kitchen every night, it should only take a few minutes each night.
It’s going to be a productive and fun month getting your kitchen in top-notch order!
Your assignment for today:
Set your timer. Clean your kitchen and get prepared for the month!
Get ready to work on a Habit #2.
Keep working your Rainbow calendar.
