I have one job (i.e. bathrooms, vacuumming, mopping, dusting, etc.) to do each day. We also have a morning and night time routine that includes things like "throw in a load of laundry" and "do the dishes". It's definitely not a fast method, by any means, but it's making a dent. Then, each month, we have jobs to do, like clean out the car, or spot clean the carpets. Then, each night we spend 15 minutes decluttering something. <br />Perhaps you can convince the young women to do a service project at your house? Just a thought...<br /><br />My heart goes out to Tanielle.

If you want, you can enlist Bookwoorm and Cowgirl and you can bring the little ones to me. It'd have to be on a friday, but I know my girls would be happy to play with yours for a few hours...<br />I personally like to clean with the aid of seriously fast techno music. =)IndyGo Wyldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242889093552711005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951719783144607847.post-91903968523687231212010-08-03T19:23:07.585-06:002010-08-03T19:23:07.585-06:00Okay, wanna know how to clean it up really FAST??
...Okay, wanna know how to clean it up really FAST??<br />Get a Bic lighter....<br />Just kiddin'. I don't know. Pick one area you are going to work on and just work on that one area until you're done. Like the laundry. <br />And I'm so sorry for T. :(Maceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405187347144334323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951719783144607847.post-80622813561555193192010-08-03T11:11:31.086-06:002010-08-03T11:11:31.086-06:00I do, kinda, what Koko does.

That way, it still feels like I cleaned all around the house, but was also able to really focus a little extra on one room. I don't know if that makes sense, but it works for me. <br /><br />I've also found, that if it looks like it'll take me 3 or 4 songs to get a room done, it actually doesn't take as long as you think. If you can really get in and focus for just 5 or 10 minutes, you can get tons done in a room!<br /><br />My heart and prayers go out to Tanielle.Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498447869842271382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951719783144607847.post-17020267490486918082010-08-03T10:09:52.332-06:002010-08-03T10:09:52.332-06:00I am so sad for Tanielle.

So, one of the tricks I use is I put on some music that I LOVE and my girls and I would go from room to room (each room only gets one song of working frantically hard). We then repeat the pattern until we need to take a break. It actually worked very well and I still use it on myself today (but now I say -- one more song for this room -- because I'm on a roll). Anyway, it's kind of silly, but I know you love music too...and it gives you a time limit so you're willing to work fast, the music helps you move fast (don't put on sssslllllooooowwww music haha), and you (or the kids) have a change of scenery as you have a change of song. Does this make sense? Wish I could help...too bad I'm so many states away. And I'm not saying my house is immaculate (especially with grandkids here this summer), but it's fun to clean other people's homes rather than your own! hahaKokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933176615608885716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951719783144607847.post-30148474080287997572010-08-03T07:03:51.101-06:002010-08-03T07:03:51.101-06:00Hi there, X!

Then, separate it out each week by making a smaller list for the week. Maybe one largish task and smaller ones you know you'll be able to accomplish. You've worked really hard to build your business and network. It would be a shame to let it go. You are talented!Amanda @ Serenity Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483017563206007698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951719783144607847.post-62916504566726216652010-08-03T06:10:43.190-06:002010-08-03T06:10:43.190-06:00I did not see any of your post as whining at all.
...I did not see any of your post as whining at all.<br /><br />I think you needed to write it all down to start getting it sorted out. Sounds like to me you are getting on the right track.<br /><br />Why don't you call some friends and family and ask for help. I love to clean and organize for others!

Even small things go on my list. Since you have so many things to do, why not start with one task, like laundry, and just work on that until it is finished. Good luck!
