A hot spot is a place where things tend to collect - like a kitchen countertop, a coffee table, the top of a dresser, the dining room table, etc. In addition to this task, you'll continue with the habits we've already created - check your reminders to get dressed and shine your kitchen sink, and become aware of more of your negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones.
