during November I will try to make a post each day, but I might also combine days and as it is already the 5th I will definitively combine the first few days.

during the rest of the year I will search for general tipps and tricks for cleaning and organising and how to somehow keep ones life together and whatever else I will find in that direction.

[oklemmetrythis]

National Clean Your Home Month, aka NaClYoHo or "Salty Pirates" month, is soon to be upon us!

Each November, I "host" NaClYoHo, where participants work to make their living spaces more comfortable and pleasant. The full manifesto is at the link, but the basic premise is that each day in November you put on a podcast, tv show, playlist, or other media, and clean or organize some aspect of your home.

It's meant to be a low-stress way to both do a yearly cleaning and also participate in an intensive project like National Novel Writing Month without having to write a novel. I'll be posting about it again before November kicks off, but I thought I'd link to the manifesto well ahead of time, so people could brace themselves. :D

This year my big goals are to figure out how to keep my floors truly clean, replace at least one rug, and clear out the storage nook where I have a bunch of stuff that needs sorting through. I am also going to try to dedicate some time to researching those "bathroom refresh" companies that basically just put a shell over your existing shower/tub/walls and see if it's feasible for my bathroom, which desperately needs it.

I stumbled over naclyoho here on tumblr yesterday and it seemed like a good idea so I made this sideblog.

Feel free to use this blog as inspiration for your own cleaning and organising endeavours or just ignore it.
