Not going great . . .
Submitted by Krisann Blair on Thu, 09/21/2006 - 19:36.
Ok so my cleaning plan is not going as planned. While I have been working in one room a day for 30 minutes I have failed to get one room completely done!!!! I am making great strides in places so I think the final result will be great BUT it is discouraging in the meantime! Today I have worked downstairs in the office area. I have collected 2 bags of trash and a box of outgrown clothes. I have also collected a box of paper items to take recycling center (my kids old school Parkview Montessori Magnet School gets money for paper brought to the recycling center - easy money, so I try to help out).

The older I get I realize I
The older I get I realize I do not want to be a slave to my house. I hate to dust all my bric- a-brac. So I have slowly been collecting items to declutter the house. I am even going through all my cd's,videos and books for our public library. I use our local craigs list to either offer for free or for a small price. As soon as the temperature gets cooler I am going into the attic and go through all my christmas decorations and only keep what I use and hold dear. My goal this year is to simplify in order to have more peace of mind.
Cleaning is one of those
Cleaning is one of those things that I hate to do! I feel your pain! I have found that if I spend 30 mins in a room tops (I normally do 20 mins per room) each day... by the end of the week... I have a "Straightened" house!
For the holidays, I do the same thing but add 1 hour for "Deep" cleaning to ONE room per day.
So here is what I do... Maybe it will help!
Monday is my 20 min to straightened - 1 hour in MY room
Tuesday is the 20 min straighten - 1 hour in Kids rooms (there are 3 of them, so I have a bigger day that day)
Weds is the 20 mins to straight - 1 hour on main level (Kitchen/Dining Room)
Thursday is the 20 min to straight - 1 hour in Rec Room
Friday is the 20 min to straight - 1 hour in bathrooms (3 of them normally takes me 20 mins each!!!)
Saturday and Sunday we still straighten... but it is family time! I do 2-3 loads of laundry a day during the week and Uniforms on the weekends...
Hope this helps everyone!
Cleaning plan Phewy...
Cleaning plan Phewy... sounds like an awesome amount of stuff done in 30 minuits, kudoes to you on that end. Another 30 min. is available some where in the week. You will get there. Half an hour here and there is an amazing thing. Don't beat your self up when yoou really did get alot done. Some times we under-estamate what we can really get done in a set amount of time. Rome was not built in a day neither was clutter or mess...
