“House ordering is my prayer, and when I have finished my prayer is answered. And bending, stooping, scrubbing, purifies my body as prayer doesn’t.”
– Jessamyn West
Week 29 prioritize seasonal maintenance tasks to keep your living space running smoothly. Check for wear and tear caused by summer weather, such as cracks in driveways or damage to outdoor furniture. Deep clean high-traffic areas like entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms to refresh your home mid-year. Late July is also an excellent time to organize storage spaces—declutter garages, basements, and closets to prepare for the upcoming fall season. If you have a garden, continue watering and harvesting, and start planning for fall planting.
On the financial side, Week 29 is ideal for reviewing your mid-year goals and adjusting as needed. Assess your savings progress, especially for year-end expenses like holidays or property taxes. Consider setting aside funds for back-to-school costs or fall home projects. Review utility bills to identify areas for cost savings, such as reducing energy use during peak summer heat. If you’ve been traveling, reconcile vacation expenses and adjust your budget accordingly. By combining proactive home care with thoughtful financial planning, Week 29 can help you maintain stability and prepare for the remainder of the year.
