Cleaning the house

I have finally found a system that seems to work for cleaning the house (at least for me). It is at flylady.com. She breaks everything up into babysteps to begin with. After you complete the babysteps everything has a zone. You basically work on a zone a week and at the end of the month the entire house has been deep-cleaned. Weekly chores are simplified and included in an hour clean done once per week. She also suggests using a timer to keep yourself on track, and recommends only doing cleaning 15 minutes at a time and giving yourself permission to stop when the 15 minutes is up. Another big thing is decluttering your house which should be done before you start doing the deep-cleaning zone work. She also talks about 2 minute hot spot cleaning and 5 minute room rescues everyday. I have been using her system for about 5 weeks and it has helped so much. I don't feel like I am cleaning all day anymore and not having anything to show for it when I am done because the house still looks like a mess. Joe finds it easier to help me clean because there is a system to it and he knows what to expect. I have also found a place for almost everything. We are still working on the decluttering part, but I am getting close to finishing. My friend Julee told me about this website years ago and I wish I had gone to it then because it has helped so much.
