✈️DESTINATION - Prague, Czech Republic - 6,000 Miles & Declutter & Make Bed
The challenge begins on Saturday morning. Exercise & Declutter & Make Bed done before SATURDAY DOES NOT COUNT!!!!
Paris the famed capital of romance, is the epicenter of culture, art and home to the iconic Eiffel Tower. While it's amazing, it can be a little overwhelming and unfriendly. Consider beautiful Prague, in Central Europe, a smaller model of Paris at a seventh of the size. In this festive fun-filled city, there’s always something going on day and night. You will enjoy all of the sights without fighting the crowds. "All cities are jealous of Paris, but Prague is the envy of Paris." ~ Alexandra Bracken
Known as "City of A Thousand Spires," with its many church towers, this fairy-tale skyline rises above the historic Charles Bridge that crosses the river Vltava, and takes travellers from the ninth century Prague Castle into the cobble stoned Old Town. The Square there is lined with colorful baroque buildings, museums, churches and Prague's astronomical clock which is a 15th century timekeeping device.
Charles Bridge is a stone bridge with three towers that stands astride the Vltava River. The winding course of the Vltava, with its succession of bridges and changing vistas, contrasts with the ever-present backdrop of the Prague Castle. It dominates the left-bank and sits high atop a hill, with views across the river to Old Town. Petřin Tower sits beside Prague Castle, in homage to the Eiffel Tower.
The UNESCO Prague Castle was built in the 9th century on a hillside. It is 753,474 square feet, making it the world’s largest castle. It is a complex of palaces, churches, St. Vitus Cathedral, gardens and Golden Lane which is now modern retail. The castle is the official office of the President of the Czech Republic.
The narrow streets and little taverns and restaurants of the older quarters contrast with the broad sweep of Wenceslas Square and modern parks and housing developments. Escape into nature by visiting beautifully-manicured gardens and parks or checking out one of the nature reserves outside the city center.
Fun Facts
Church is a Christian house of worship with a priest, a cathedral a church with a bishop
Prague is the greenest urban space in the world, with 56% covered by urban greenery
The astronomical clock is the world's longest running clock and shows the positions of the sun and the moon.

Give a thanks to our teammates Ceriusly1 (Ceri) and hicim705 (Heidi) who requested Declutter Week! Yes it’s time to clean up and make room for a healthier lifestyle. Pack away the summer things and weed out clutter. A houseful of clutter may not be the only reason people pack on extra pounds, but research proves that it plays a big role. People with super-cluttered homes were 77% more likely to be overweight or obese! Why? In Lose the Clutter Lose The Weight, author Peter Walsh said it's because people can't make their best healthiest choices in a cluttered, messy, disorganized home.
Excess weight and excess stuff have similarities. Both can creep up on us slowly over time until one day you realize your zipper won't do up or the cupboard won't close. Both problems are linked to living in an age of plenty. Reducing excess clutter promotes well being.
Aim to make your kitchen a tidy pleasant place to prepare delicious healthy meals. Turn your bedroom into a soothing restful sanctuary. Making your sitting area a restful place to be.
To motivate yourself, as you are approaching your home, think of what you don't want to see when you open the door. Is it that spare room that has become your 'junk room', the coat closet bursting with excess items, or the kitchen junk drawer? Find the spot that could use a little help.
Clutter – noun - a disorderly heap, collection of things lying about in an untidy mass; to fill or cover something with many things.
Junque - a wonderful collection of white elephants, trash, and treasures to pass onto someone who can use it.
Declutter – verb to remove unnecessary/excess items so you have more usable space and can easily find things when you need them. Simplify or get rid of mess or disorder, to streamline.
This week spend a MINIMUM of 10 minutes a day decluttering. You can pick your most needy area to focus on, or you may wish to follow this list.
Suggested list of areas to attack -
Day 1 Declutter horizontal surfaces in the room you use/spend the most awake time in.
Day 2 Declutter your kitchen surfaces or get into the cupboards.
Day 3 Declutter your night table and bedroom.
Day 4 Declutter your bathroom.
Day 5 Declutter your entrance area.
Day 6 Declutter your worst drawer.
Day 7 Declutter your coat/footwear closet.
“Do It Now” Principle - take care of tasks now, not later or allowing yourself to get distracted.
