I hate Detailed cleaning!

Posted by: Patricia on: April 21, 2009

 When the weather is good the last thing I want to be doing is cleaning my house.  I have tried that Fly Lady thing in the past and it just gets me overwhelmed.  I don’t know why, but it does.  So I think for me the best thing to do is to tackle it like I am reading my Bible.  Not that I am comparing the 2, I am not…But I find that if…

  1. Have a schedule and
  2. Have Accountability

Then I get the job done a lot better.  So I was thinking, I want to save my rainy days for stuff other than massive clean ups, more like reading or painting or a long movies with the kids.  So with that said,  I am going to be taking the schedule of the Fly Lady and integrating it into my own personality.

This week is the Master Bedroom. That is so timely for me!   Lately that has become my “cluttered” spot beyond any other spot in the house. So this week I am going to CLEAN the Master Bedroom!  See Below.  Just do 2 a day and you will have nothing to do on Sunday!

Day 1. So I tackled the Bedroom. It looks and smells really good. I really was ready to move to the next room in the house but if I am going to take 1 whole month to really clean the house I have to stick with the plan. So I promised myself today that I would not divert and stay in the zone! A few hours later I came back into the room and 1. loved it and 2. Saw that there really was a lot more to do. the “little clutters”. So tomorrow I will peel off another layer in getting the house to a good state of mind!! So from now till Sunday…it is just the Master Bedroom DEEP Clean. Like the day it was built! I don’t even know what is in my nightstand? And really…3 drawers for pajamas??

Straighten out that closet…need to make room for new flip flops! Throw out your old slippers or runners that you have not worn all year.

Even though you are straightening up the rest of your house you are REQUIRED to go in this Zone and find somehing to straighten up or clean out for 15 minutes a day till Sarurday. About 4 songs if you listen to music during it! Trust me there is always a little pile of earings or a nightstand drawer or spare socks to be tossed. 15 minutes…in that zone…even if you tink you cannot find something…there is always trim work.

This is too much work…!
