Zone cleaning is done.

 

I'm actually going to list out what I do during my routines to share. I won't do this every time. I had to modify Flylady's routines to fit my life.

 

Morning routine

--Make bed

--Get dressed

--Swish and swipe

--Start a load of laundry

--Check calendar for today

--Clean cat area

 

Afternoon routine

--What's for dinner

--Drink your water

--Declutter for 15 minutes

--Reboot laundry

--15 minutes of movement/exercise (I have lots of trouble with this one. This is a habit I'm just beginning.) - Didn't do.

 

Daily:

--File new paper

--Shred old paper

--Laundry

--Sweep bedroom

--Plan dinner menu

 

After dinner/Before bed routine

--Spend 2 minutes clearing a hot spot

--Shine sink

--Run dishwasher

--Empty dishwasher

-Clean cat area

 

Extra:

--Bag up Lego vehicles with instruction booklets

--Have ds clean up Lego table for 5 minutes (using a Flylady method here with him so he doesn't feel overwhelmed)

--Gas up cars

 

Dinner: Chicken with Orzo pasta, cheesy roasted zucchini and tomatoes

 

I downloaded the FlyLadyPlus App on my iphone. It's really cool. It includes routines and zones and you just click each thing as you do them. You can edit them as well. I changed them around to fit my lists I have in my control journal. I still like typing out what I'm going to do here. That includes what I'm doing that day in a zone, my daily chores (sort of a stretched out weekly blessing hour), and my Extras for the  days. I like using my phone to check off my routines and zones as I do them because they help me see what needs to be done next. Then the next morning, I reset each routine so I can start a new day. For zone cleaning, I don't reset them until we start on the next zone. Next week will be an easy one for me. It's just the living room. 

 

Happy Saturday!
