We are currently on week 3 of 8 and this week’s Friday Focus is in the BATHROOMS  The Organised Mum method was born out of the idea that you can get an awful lot done in 30 minutes! My method concentrates household tasks into manageable chunks, creating a regular routine that means you won’t get overwhelmed or swamped with housekeeping. I explain all in this video! There are 3 levels of jobs: Level 1: Everyday Jobs These never change and are the same every day. This is the minimum that needs to be done in order to maintain an orderly home. This is supposed to be a quick top level tidy – It should take no longer than 15 minutes.

• Quick floor clean of main living areas. This obviously depends on what floors you have (carpets, tiles or wood floors). If you have hard flooring mop at least once a week.
• 1 load of laundry
• Quick clean of bathrooms, this includes a mop of the floors at least once a week.
• Make beds

Level 2: Day Specific Tasks Each day is assigned specific jobs. These won’t change so you will always know that Thursday is kitchen day and Monday is living room day (I have been using this method for 10 years – That makes me feel old! And I know the days off by heart now). This will allow you to move your focus around the home making sure that everywhere gets dealt with every week. Spend no more than 30 minutes on these – it doesn’t matter if you don’t get everything done, you will be back in the same area on the same day next week! And remember the longer you follow the method, the cleaner your house will become it will be easier and quicker to clean! Monday: Living room Tuesday: Bedrooms Wednesday: Entrance Hall and stairs Thursday: Kitchen Friday : Focus day – see next tier. Level 3: Friday Focus In order to make sure your home gets a deep clean in all areas on a regular basis there is Friday Focus. Each Friday we concentrate on a different area of the home making sure that the jobs that need doing less frequently,such as cleaning the oven (hate that job!), get done regularly too. There is an 8 week cycle for this. Again only spend 30 minutes on this.  Week 1: Kids’ bedrooms Week 2: Living room Week 3: Kitchen Week 4: Bathrooms Week 5: Master bedroom Week 6: Entrance Hall and Stairs Week 7: Dining Room and any other rooms that haven’t already been covered such as study/spare bedrooms. Week 8: Garden/Outside Space So there you have it The Organised Mum Method. I hope it helps you keep your home organised and a pleasure to live in 🙂 For those of you who are looking for a few extra jobs, check out the One Off Job List!
