so last night, I decided to do something about the house. Luna, over here, has a list of things to do around her place, and that worked for me a while, especially the getting up in the morning to put dishes away.
Because I happened to be in there, I started with the bathroom, and as it was Tuesday, the week starts there.
Mine isn't quite as labour intensive.
~*~
Tuesdays
- clean loo - bowl, tank, seat
- wipe down bath
- wipe down sink, taps
- determine what needs binning: loo rolls, bottles, dust infested items (meaning not used in potentially YEARS)
- dust off pill bottles
- do mirror
- collect washing
- replenish blue bags
- decide what 'color' the week/fortnight will be and put away every thing that isn't it. This week it is orange, so I need to put away bath products that are not orange. Aim to ONLY have out shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel.
take photo/s
Review Mondays photos - identify problem areas, make adjustments to list.
~*~
Wednesdays
- if there is enough washing, do it
- tidy dressing table, drawers, other surfaces
Take photo/s
Review Tuesdays photos - identify problem areas, make adjustments to list.
~*~
Thursdays
- find books, dvds, videos, cds and put away PROPERLY
- find anything else not immediately being used and put that away too
- collect washing - if it's on the floor, it gets washed. Look beside the bed.
Take photo/s (chairs, couch, dresser, floor, clocks)
Review Wednesdays photos - identify problem areas, make adjustments to list.
~*~
Fridays
- do washing, including house linens
- debug puter
Review Thursdays photos - identify problem areas, make adjustments to list.
~*~
Saturdays
- mop lino, to be nice and clean for Sundays
- vacuum, look for old webs
Take photos of ALL the floors
~*~
Mondays
- clean up the kitchen: bench, stove, catfood bowls, include the fridge, freezer and kettle.
- put everything in the drainer away
- scour the sink
Take photo/s
Review Saturdays photos - identify problem areas, make adjustments to list.

The photo thing? well, I have an unerring tendency to SEE things clearer in photos. There is no Sunday, coz thats a day of rest.
As you can see there isn't anything heavy or hard or even anything that will take longer than about 10 mins. there is NO reasin why I can't keep this up. Nothing has to be done by any particular time...well, ok, before bed.
This blog has been created with the sole intention of detailing my journey to a clean, and tidy, house, and perhaps some emotional healing and growth thrown in.

ReplyDelete-- solution: rehome or bin it
pic 2 - cords annoying and the bandaid spots
-- solution: remove bandaid spots. Possibly hang cord behind bathroom door.
pic 3 - again, too much stuff. All that NEEDS to be 'out' is the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.
--solution: put the rest away. And stop buying more.
pic 4 - not too bad
--idea: utilise the rack more, straighten whats on it
pic 5 - thats not too bad either
