Shoes just in case
Keep extra shoes on hand, especially if they are calling for bad weather.
Accomplish your to-dos
Some people prefer to avoid making to-do lists. Making a list helps me remember what needs to be completed. Also, when you cross-to-do items off the list, it enables you to feel accomplished.
Decluttering made easy
When decluttering take a room-by-room approach focusing on sorting, rethinking, and reorganizing everything you own.
Allocate a decluttering time. Allowing some time each day helps to not get overwhelmed.
Make a list of a few areas that need to be decluttered. This way you will not get overwhelmed with so many areas at once.
Get Donation, Recycle or Rubbish Bags Ready. Determine the items that no longer serve you, remove them and place them into a donation, rubbish or recycle. Make sure your donation bag and rubbish bag leave the house. Move the bags you’ve set aside to recycle to your car or the front porch. This way the bags have a place to go!
Don’t forget to have a box for things that need action like mending, returning, etc. and a memory box for sentimental value.
Achieve your goals
Maintaining a list of your goals serves as a guiding compass, ensuring you stay focused on your attainment of those goals. This organized approach not only clarifies your aspirations but also empowers you to track progress and stay motivated. Whether they’re short-term objectives or long – term ambitions, the act of listing them fosters a sense of accountability, helping you navigate the path to achievement with purpose and determination.
When life gives you lemons
If you run fresh cut lemon slices through your garbage disposal at least once a month it will leave your kitchen drain smelling nice and fresh.
Cell for safety!
Always take your cell phone with you when going for a walk. Make sure you have an emergency contact programmed into your phone. Londonderry residents should have the phone number for our Security team programmed in your phone.
Tips for cleaning your microwave
First you will need a bowl.
Add two tablespoons of baking soda into the bowl with warm water. Mix the warm water and baking soda until all the baking soda is dissolved.
Place the bowl with the dissolved baking soda into the microwave. Turn the microwave on high and “cook” for two to three minutes.
Let the bowl sit in the microwave for a few minutes or until cool.
Carefully remove the bowl and wipe clean.
Tips for cleaning your TV Screens
- Cleaning Tv screen
- Confirm your tv is turned off and unplugged
- Use a clean dry microfiber cloth
- Never use any glass cleaners or any other type of chemicals on your tv
When searching for your cleaning essentials, consider specialized cleaning wipes designed for TVs. Alternatively, you could opt for the convenience of living in Londonderry, where our dedicated housekeeping takes care of these tasks for you. Remember to consult your TV instructions before choosing your cleaning method.
Help your pets and your neighbors!
Purchase pet-friendly deicing products. Not all deicing products are safe for your furry friends’ paws. Some ice melts can contain harsh chemical de-icers. While they help by melting the snow and ice off your sidewalks and driveways, they can be toxic and potentially fatal to our feline friends.
