housework list

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.

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.

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.

  1. pic 1 - TOO MUCH STUFF!!!!!!
    -- 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
    --idea: get the cobweb
