By isolating and conquering one section at a time, the whole cleaning andorganizing processfeels more manageable.
The less you have to think aboutwhatto tackle, the more time you have to do the tackling!
Think about how you naturally use each space and break it down into manageable sections.
This ensures cleaning tasks are completed consistently.
However, something like the bathroom doesnt need daily attention, so I schedule that as a weekly task.
I also personally clean my bathroom and bedroom once a week.
In terms ofdecluttering each zone, target the top level clutter, McCubbin advises.
Items that need to be returned to their proper home are always the first order of business.
From there, work your way from top to bottom of the room.
Dust and wipe down shelves, clean furniture and objects, then tackle the floors.
These small habits prevent messes from piling up.
