What is the 24 Hour Cleanup Project?

I have a problem.

I’ve been going strong on my Extreme Cleaning project for the past few weeks, only to hit a roadblock.

I found myself constantly putting off the deeper, more meaningful physical cleaning that I want to do because of the stuff around me that needed constant, immediate attention:  dishes, laundry, the boxes sitting out, etc.

Since it’s going to be quite a cold day tomorrow with a possible storm tonight, Heidi and I are planning to hole ourselves up in our home and turn off all access to everything.  We are going to take the next 24 hours to focus all of our effort and time to completely and utterly clean up our surrounding area until everything is spotless, in its place, and ready for the deeper cleaning we both have planned…

Preparing for Extreme Cleaning is Just as Important as Extreme Cleaning Itself

If you choose to join me, you can use the opportunity to prepare for a more conscious, deeper cleaning of your physical environment (like Extreme Cleaning), or you can use it as a way to prepare for any New Years Resolutions you may have.

The problem with most New Years Resolutions is not that they are difficult to maintain, but that we are not prepared for them when they come.  Do you think that after a whole day of drinking and partying that you are going to want to start on a resolution the next day?  Maybe, but you probably won’t stick to it.  I know I wouldn’t.

So use this as a time to get ready for a real New Years Resolution, one you will actually keep.  Find out what it is, what you need to do to plan for it, and you can then hit the ground running on January 1st, fully prepared and ready to go.

If you are ready to join me, then log off the Internet starting at midnight tonight, get a plan together to tackle your mess, and get ready for some Now Cleaning.

If you are going to join me, go ahead and Tweet or blog about it, announce it to the world!  Make yourself accountable!

Do it now.

Oh, and make sure to turn off your phones, prepare your food, and get anything else ready so you have no excuse to be distracted.

Happy cleaning,
