Hi you guys,
Sorry I didn't respond right away. Procrastination, you know?
Good ideas, although I am not sure where to start first to get clients. No, that's really not true - if I were suggesting it to someone else I'd have tons of ideas. Truth is, I've been really up and down lately and can't count on my mood to be stable enough to start anything. Pitiful, huh? I should just start and worry about that later. START is the key word here and I guess that's what this thread is all about, anyway. How appropriate:)
Geez, am I rambling or what??!!
Oh, a cleaning tip for those of you who are currently challenged in that area: Clean in levels, not by rooms. For example, first start at the ceiling and do the cobwebs in every room. Then the ceiling fans or lights. Then the furniture, window sills, etc. and get rid of stuff hanging around on tables and countertops. Now, throw away everything you don't need that was unearthed by the other steps. I mean everything - be ruthless. The floor, obviously, is last and the hardest part - the home stretch. If you commit to do one level per day, NO MATTER WHAT, your house is presentable in less than a week. One week of pain. One less thing to separate you from other people. Clean is good. You can do it...you can do it... you can do it. It may seem HUGE but you can endure anything for one week, right? Maintenence consists of putting things away or throwing them away rather than "collecting" them.
Let me know what happens.
Karen
