Let's tweak our Focus threads a bit to combine the whole month rather than the weekly threads we've been doing for a few years.
Some of our members follow Indiana's room-by-room focus schedule. If you have been using that, the August schedule is as follows:
8/1/2014 outdoor (continue Round 3)
8/4/2014 kitchen (Round 3)
8/11/2014 living room (Round 3)
8/18/2014 dining room (Round 3)
8/25/2014 porch/entry (Round 4)
Indiana's detailed task lists are included at the start of each weekly thread in the Focus subforum of Organization and Simplification Tools. (I'll figure out the link later, or maybe another Admin can help.) Remember to declutter in the next room in the schedule so it will be ready for cleaning.
Many of us adjust Indiana's schedule to match the rooms in our houses. Sometimes we have to trade Focus rooms when a guest is coming or the weather won't allow working on the front porch.
Others use a totally different schedule such as CEO's Houseworks, Flylady's zones, etc. Sometimes a crisis cleaning mode kicks into overdrive. Maybe you want to tackle a really bad area that's been put off for months, or even years.
The goal is to avoid being forced into a huge spring or holiday cleaning. Most of us would rather do a little bit at a time, spread throughout the year.
What schedule do you use for cleaning jobs that don't need to be done every week? Do you have a room that needs particular attention right now?
