[tazmom]

Questions. Does dishes done include put away? DH usually leaves a load of sippy cups and parts in the dish rack to dry overnight since it's really hard to towel dry them.

Oh and does clearing the toys off the floor count as a hotspot or decluttering?

[inesperada]

Dishes in the messies challenge don't have to be "done". We just want you to do some dishes so they don't pile up. :)

And you can count picking up toys as a hotspot. :tu Decluttering means actually getting things out of your house by selling/donating/throwing away. :)

[tazmom]

Cool! Thanks!

Still really busy getting back into the swing of doing school and everything, but so far so good. I am struggling to do the challenges right now, but things are mostly picked up and straightened. :)

Really? :doh
I have been counting decluttering as putting anything lying around away where it is meant to be (or throwing it out, or giving it away), and hotspots as clearing the places which gather lots of decluttered items. So if I cleared a whole shelf of clutter I counted it as a hotspot, but if I picked up one thing off the shelf as I walked past and put it away where it was meant to be, that was a decluttered item.

:O I'll do it right from now on!
