Easter Countdown: Get Organized Week

Welcome to Get Organized Week at the Easter Countdown! Written by our own OC member Gingerbug, this six-week organizing plan is based on the Christmas Countdown. In small weekly steps, it'll have your household hopping toward a happy Easter.

Ready? It's time to get organized!

To do this week:

  • Make the promise! Spend 15 minutes each day this week to get organized for Easter.
  • Set up your Easter section in your holiday planner.
  • Add blank lined pages for any notes and records. Create and add a master "to do" list for Easter.
  • Make or designate a planning calendar. Pencil in items to accomplish or list Lent services/activities.
  • Begin at the beginning: review your family's holiday values. Print and record your findings on the values page. What messages do you want conveyed about this holiday? What activities are most meaningful?
  • Baskets await!! Start a list. Don't forget to record purchases and plan accordingly.
  • Make a list of people you want to send Easter cards to. Locate addresses, and consider making a computerized address list for maximum time savings. Making cards? Don't forget to create a supply list.
  • Print a home spruce-up worksheet and complete the home spruce-up exercise. Plan and schedule any pre-holiday home improvement projects. Think: Spring cleaning!
  • Will your family travel this holiday? Or will you have guests? Plan your trip or plan guest accommodations this week.
  • Think family photos: stock up on camera batteries, pick up Easter scrapping supplies or other photo related chores.
  • Schedule carpet cleaning now! Think Spring and seasonal cleaning chores.
