| How often do you look around the outside of your house? (this could be an apartment, a trailer or an RV~depending upon where you live)
Did you know that you could have clutter outside of your home as well???? You know that blowing piece of trash that gets caught in your bushes? How about tree limbs and sticks??? How about small rocks or pebbles at the end of your driveway?? Leaves?? Could be toys that your kids have discarded out in the yard?? Dog poo?? (yes that is clutter too)
Once a month walk around your home to see if there is any clutter. Take a note pad with you...as you notice things jot them down so that you will be able to recall what needs to be taken care of.
After you know what needs to be done~hop to it! Gather your needed supplies and take care of business. Pick up the trash, sweep the porch and the rocks on the driveway. Scoop up the dog poo... ( of enlist the help of a teen and pay them to help with this one this might also need to be done on a weekly basis) Rake leaves, toss the sticks and twigs.
By doing this monthly or more if needed you will have the nicest yard on the block.
In the spring/summer when you are mowing the grass you will want to do this alot more often. Once you make it a habit you will find that you are doing this when you see that things are is disorder.
Enjoy~
