Where we are in Focus:
In the Focus Cleaning calendar, we are in the middle of the 3rd of our 4 rounds. After 4, we give just maintenance time, for two reasons:
1) getting ready for late-year hosting and meeting the celebration hopes of others, and
2) providing ourselves the calm schedules we need, to enjoy home and celebration, too.

If these needs are important to you and yours :) , is it time to get serious about these last rounds, focusing on deep cleaning? You have company here!

So, what's "up"... ..

7/4/2016 closets
7/11/2016 laundry
7/18/2016 storage
7/25/2016 outdoor

and we are supposed to have just gotten finished with office/other. :| Supposed to! I may be ducking back into that week, for sure. With the holiday weekend, it just didn't seem there was enough time/emphasis for me there. Almost as if the month didn't start until today.

A half-hour in closets so far today.

I'm going to be keeping records with bubble-in "weeks" again, 15 minutes per bubble. I want to keep noticing how much 7 bubbles worth (1 a day) can do for a room. I have more space than that I could fill in, but wouldn't it be nice to think 15 mins a day made a big difference.

My "laundry" week was really good, getting lots of time in, in that area. :D

Not quite so great on "storage", although continuing focus on storage areas in closets has been helpful.
