Clear Away the Clutter Readathon and Spring Break Plans!

My spring break starts April 5th and I've decided to 1. Do some reading (go Clear Away the Clutter Read-a-thon!) 2. online spring cleaning and 3. real life spring cleaning.

Okay, I know what you're asking - what the heck is the Clear Away the Clutter Read-a-thon?

Kate from The Neverending Shelf has this cool mini-challenge going on called Clear Away the Clutter. Now, before we planned this crazy read-off this weekend, we were talking about our huge towering piles of books and I said, "Well Kate, let's do a read-a-thon over my spring break" and she said "Okay.." and I said, "You host it because I did the New Years one.." and then it became part of the cool Clear Away the Clutter Mini-Challenge. So, of course I'm taking part because how stupid would I be not to?

So, I'm also making some serious spring cleaning plans for my blog, my email and my apartment.

I'm making a schedule and I'm sticking to it:

Day 1 - Clear out old emails (and listen to lots of music as this will take hours) and do regular housecleaning.
Day 2 - Clear out starred Google Reader posts and scrub down the bathroom.
Day 3 - Rearrange Google Reader and scrub down the kitchen.
Day 4 - Work on long-terms posts (aka Blogger Spotlights, Recommend Me, Waiting on Wednesdays, etc.) and tidy my bookshelves (dusting and all) - I may need to buy a new one!
Day 5 - Catch up on reviews (because I know me and I'll be behind) and clear the clutter in the study - file away stuff and whatnot.

We'll see how much energy I have after that. :)

  1. I've been putting off Spring cleaning because I've been so busy with school... I don't think we get a Spring Break lol. I just realized yesterday thought that my room is in need of some serious dusting!
