Another Five Minute Room Rescue
Declutter activity for today:
The Five-Minute Room Rescue
In whichever area is still the most cluttered, set your timer for 5 minutes. Move as fast as you can and remove all items that do not belong in this area – take the dirty dishes to the kitchen sink, put the dirty clothes in the laundry pile, pick up all the books, magazines, and piles of papers and mail and put them in a basket or at least contain them all in one area in the house.
After 5 minutes, stop. You’re done decluttering for today. Let’s move on to the fun stuff!
The point is to do this as quickly as possible so we are not spending more time than necessary decluttering and we can get to the fun stuff in our day.

Color and Containers for Helpful People
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a color and three containers to your Helpful People and Travel area. Silver, gray and metal work here, so aluminum foil is fine.
You can set up three silver containers for three different tasks of attracting helpful people:
- One small silver box with a lid (real silver, silver-plated, or even a paper box painted silver)
- One silver envelope large enough to hold documents (can even be made of aluminum foil)
- One larger container, like a large vase, paper grocery bag, purse, or box (spray-paint it silver if you like, or cover it with silver fabric, sequins, or beads.)
The small silver box is used for events that need help now (3 days to 3 weeks). Those little jewelry boxes with red velvet inside work great, as the red is an activating color. This box can hold up to three requests at any one time.
The silver envelope is used for things that last months (scripts, contracts, invitations). Remove the item when you’ve been adequately helped.
The large container is for things that stay around for a LONG time (your doctor, your business clients, your family). You can place the name of everyone you meet in this container if you wish. Because this container is for the long term, I would recommend that you invest time and/or money to make it beautiful.
Instructions:
On paper, write the names of people or projects you need help with,for example:
- “The insurance adjuster is helpful to me”
- “I attract only the perfect health care practitioners for me.”
- “I have plenty of good help with my remodeling project.”
