I hope you had a great weekend and I would love to read your comments!!! Hint, hint!!!!
Today I want to talk about our Monthly List. I briefly touched on this when I blogged on how important first impressions were and that we needed to take care of our Front Entrance. I've included the link for you to reference just incase you've forgotten.
Let's Recap...
We have our Daily List
We have our Weekly List
Now we will work on our Monthly list. You will have to take out your old faithful Calendar and a pen or pencil. As you have been doing your Beautify your home Mondays, I've told you to work fast and that this was not a deep cleaning day, remember? Well, that is because the deep cleaning comes in your Monthly cleaning week!
Open your calendar and decide what you are going to deep clean that whole week. Let me give you my Monthly List as an example and you take it from there. I always start with the last week of the month to start off the month fresh! I do this on Sundays and end on Saturday.
Sunday May 29th. - June 4th. FRONT ENTRANCE/ PORCH
Sunday June 5th. - June 11th. DINING ROOM/KITCHEN/OFFICE (this is all one room)
Sunday June12th. - June 18th. BATHROOMS (2) MASTER BEDROOM
Sunday June 19th. - June 25th. LIVINGROOM/HALLWAY/LINEN CLOSET
Sunday June 26th. - July 2nd. BACKYARD/FRONT YARD
There are months that only have four weeks so I don't work on the yards on those months. We regularly work on all these areas, but on the weeks that we have to deep clean them we purposely look for projects we have been putting off. We have all week to work on them and we work 15-30 or even a full hour a day and that is it! But I know that I am accomplishing a lot and at the end of that week my kitchen or bathroom looks awesome and I know that whatever I didn't get to will get done the following month!
If you have been following your Daily and Weekly list you should be able to get right into your Monthly list, but if you haven't I would recommend for you not to start on this until you've worked on the others first.
If you want a more detailed list of what to clean in each area you can find most of them at this link http://flylady.com/images/Detailed_Cleaning_Lists.pdf
