The sun really doesn't put out as much light in January for those of us in the northern hemisphere. Exchange your bulbs in your lamps and overhead lights for brighter ones. You'll feel more alert, and your mood may improve. Easy fix for those dark and dreary January days!
Are the dark January days defeating your attempts to clean? If you can't manage a household scrub, pick one thing to tackle. Maybe dust one end table. That's all. Next time, try to expand what you clean. You'll get there, one small area at a time!
Treat your January home like a crime scene. Would visitors find evidence of your holiday revelling hidden behind the recliner, in the upstairs bath, or heaven forbid, a holiday towel still in your kitchen drawer? Toss it or pack it, ready to pull back out in ELEVEN MONTHS! Happy January!
That's right. Start planning now so you are ready on the first day of warm weather. If you need the help of a professional, now's the time to get bids. Your added bonus? You can feel justified dreaming of summer even as the snow piles up on your patio!
Old calendars, that is. It's January of the new year. Old calendars banished! If you have useful information on your 2020 calendar, tuck it in a file but don't leave it out. Toss it, shred it, make room for the new! You'll feel like you're getting a fresh start (and after 2020's pandemic, whew!!).
