>I do the zone work a little bit differently. I do it for 15
>min a night M-Th. Instead of following the specific days of
>the month suggested by the website, I just make a lap around
>my house clockwise and work on a room until it is done with
>the detailed cleaning list, and then move on to the next. So
>I might staying in the bedroom for 3 days, but only working on
>the living room for 1-2 days, then work in the kitchen for 4
>days, just how ever long it takes with 15 min a day. I first
>had to declutter all the rooms, which I just finished doing.

>Here is the link for how to declutter

>Also, here is the link for how to start a control journal. I
>don't have all of the sections in there, but have my routines,
>a monthly calendar, important addressed (doctors, vets,
>parents, siblings etc.), and our budget and our spending. I
>keep a blank piece of paper in the inside pocket of the
>control journal and that is where we write down when things
>run out (toilet paper, light bulbs, etc), so that I don't
>forget these non-recurring items when I make out my grocery
>list.

>I think the most important thing that has helped me is to
>always think about the DO IT NOW principle. When I am in the
>bathroom in the morning getting ready, I swish and swipe
>because I have cleaner right under the sink. When I take out
>a glass for a drink, I put it in the dishwasher immediately.
>If you pick up everything and clean as you go, you never have
>a big clean up later.

>I also found this great list of daily, weekly, and monthly
>chores that was adapted from flylady and mentions flylady on
>the realsimple.com website. It is just a list of chores
>without assigning a specific day, but is another helpful way
>to look at it.
