"An example of a 10 min session performed on Sat 5/14/2011 @ 8.10 AM
loaded dishes in dw
started dw
collected recyclables
swished ds toilet
sprayed side of ds toilet"


It is Sun morning. I am going to do what I did yesterday, following the check list created above.

One of the things that seems true is that if I only do what I did yesterday, I will never really "get ahead". I will keep up with the kitchen, but that's about it.

5/14 TOTAL TIME WORKED IN HOME: 25

So I've done a 10 min AM session. It's Sat. so I have some time, now what?


5 mins.
-clearing the LR rug
-clearing the DR table
-clearing the K counters

10 mins in PM
-focused mostly on kitchen
