I started thoroughly cleaning my office here at work about 6 weeks ago, but got sidetracked by a few projects. Now, I've completely run out of work to do though...this has never happened at my job before (frankly, I'm a bit worried a bit about our company, business has never been this slow before...)
So there's nothing to do here at work but clean. Now's a good time though, we've been cleaning out our whole building lately, and just repainted our front lobby area - trying to kick off the year with a fresh start (and we've been in this location for 11 years now, its been needing a good cleaning).
For some reason I've really been dreading finishing cleaning my office though...not sure why, I've gotten the most tedious and grossest stuff done already (there were mice living in a file cabinet I cleaned out).
I also want to clean up my apartment more this week, and take it to the 'next level'. I'm hosting a birthday party for a friend Friday night, and want to get my place ready for that. My place is in decent shape now, but there are still some problem corners, nooks, and crannies where excess stuff tends to accumulate - I want to clear those areas out and declutter a bit more. Also, although I've been better with the maintenance lately, its time for another thorough vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning again.
Also plan to give the dog a bath and build some more bookshelves this week (replacing some shorter bookshelves with taller ones, I've run out of space for books again)...plus laundry. Should've done some of this stuff yesterday, but I was feeling unmotivated. The closer it gets to Friday, the more motivated I'll be!
Also, my car is the messiest its been in a while, and that's driving me a little crazy, so I might as well clean it up too.

Thanks, geraniumgrowing. I was just eating lunch at my computer, and a baby mouse popped up next to my keyyboard. I think he liked the smell of what I was eating. I think its the same baby mouse who first appeared here after our X-Mas/ New Year's break...he still doesn't seem to be too afraid of people.
Since mice are on my desk, I guess that's as good an incentive to clean up as there is. Still having a hard time getting started though!

Hi Juniper2,
If i can get everything accomplished this week that I have planned, then maybe I'll finally change my name. To tell the truth I haven't been in "GO" mode much lately, but at least I haven't been in "SLOTH" mode either! It's the coldest and wettest winter we've had here in Atlanta in a long time, and I'm ready for spring, darn it! It'll be nice to get a jump on spring cleaning, for once in my life.

You're doing great, Slothzilla. I remember cleaning up my office at work many years ago. I had incentive: a new desk with ergonomic chair to be esconced in the office. Getting the old heavy metal desk out and setting up a nice new work station sure did give me a lot of satisfaction. All that cleaning and re-organizing at work DID carry over and provided incentive to do the same at home.

Gosh, my cubicle at work still has somebody else's March madness schedule from 2008 pasted on an upper cabinet. I should take 20 seconds and pry it loose. That would be a start. good luck with your tidy up  |

sounds like you have lots to do but are going to make plenty of progress. I found the image of baby mouse popping up to watch you eat so cute!I have mouse in my house that I can't bring myself to buy traps to kill. but don't you think in 2 months the baby would be grown up? is maybe another baby.
