Now let’s move on to our daily missions this week:
This week we are in Zone 5 – The Living Room.
Monday – Clear the Hot Spots in your living room, and then do a detail dusting in the living room of the flat surfaces.
Tuesday – Move furniture and clean under it. Don’t overdo it. Ask for help if you need it. If no one is around, vacuum or sweep under the furniture as best as you can.
Wednesday – Clean out the sofa and chairs. Pull off the cushions and vacuum.
Thursday – Declutter any extra things you have sitting around in the living room that does not belong. Put out some fall decorations if you have not that already.
Friday – Detail dust anything you did not dust on Monday. Look at the fan, ceiling, baseboards, etc. If you haven’t cleaned the windows and blinds in a while. Do that, too.
Holiday Missions start next week! I already bought my Christmas cards, so I can address them in November. Subscribe to my newsletter to get the new Holiday Mission Journal. See the link over to the right of this post.
