Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Are you cleaning your Zones along with me? How is your house looking? The goal of the daily Zone Mission is to help you detail clean your home in small steps. This keeps you from getting burned out, and it is also structured so you are not spending hours and hours cleaning. It is meant to be short and sweet. Each Mission should take 5 to 15 minutes. If you have to clean and declutter a space before you do a Zone Mission, you need to focus a week on decluttering. If people are not picking up behind themselves in your home, then you are spending valuable time picking up instead of doing your Zone Missions. Keep an eye on things this week and stay on top of everyone in the home picking up behind themselves. It’s a simple concept that will bear much fruit in the overall look of your home.
Here are your Zone Missions for the week for Zone 5 – Living Room:
Monday – Start high and dust near the ceiling and fan
Tuesday – Clear flat surfaces & detail dust
Wednesday – Go sofa diving
Thursday – Move furniture & clean underneath
Friday – Do some decorating in your Living Room
