Game board method. My plan is to go out for a jog, then come back and start. Work in each area for 10-20 minutes, or if task seems overwhelming a quick 10 item toss. 1. Bathroom* 2. Bird feeder* 3. Car: Clean out and vacuum 4. Cat box 5. Exercise*/Choice 6. Feed/water chickens* 7. Financial, taxes, etc 8. Kitchen 9. Laundry 10. More Laundry 11. Path to kitchen, Entry* 12. Pick a box or bin and sort/toss* 13. Sewing, Knitting, Craft Project* 14. Sort through a pile of papers* 15. Prepare for vacation: Clean coolers 16. Make food list and pack non-perishables/ put cold stuff in one place* 17. Pack linens* and toiletries 18. Pack clothes19. Focus: Upstairs bath: floor 20. Sink and toilet 21. Shower restoration
I'm starting at 5, because it's cool out now, and I don't tolerate the heat well. See ya! Rolled 6 = 11. I'm going to work in the entryway for 10-20 minutes. Rolled 2 = 13. I will try to get a bunch of my knitting stuff in one place. It's scattered here and there. I might put some things together for the trip. I might have time to knit while on vacation. Rolled 3 = 16. Make food packing/shopping lists. Rolled 6 = 1. Bathroom Rolled 1 = 2. Birdfeeder. We don't have a lot of hummers around, but just a couple of minutes after refilling the feeder, I saw one. Rolled 4 = 6. Chickens. I'll be going away for a few days, so need to make sure I clean/refill their water and refill their feeder. Rolled 6 = 12. Bin or box. Rolled 2 = 14 Stack of papers. I've been working on laundry, and cleaning out the fridge between rolls today. Before the day is done, I want to focus on a few things: #3, Clean out the car #4, Clean out coolers.

Jumpin' in today. Probably. I already did one load of dishes so that's a great start. This'll be my list over the next couple days.
1. Finish dishes
2. 15 minutes decluttering living room
3. Behind entertainment center
4. Clean kitchen floor
1. One backlog bin (as much as will fit in drainer)
2. 15 minutes decluttering living room
3. Under M's "desk" 4. Clean coffee counter
1. Finish backlog bin or start the other
2. 5 minutes on boys' room 3. Clean off desk 4. Sweep kitchen floor
1. Finish backlog bin or clean under desk 2. Sweep living room 3. Move chairs in living room 4. Clean bathroom sink
I hope this will get me to a good point by Wednesday. I have someone coming by that day.
Roll 1: 4 - Cleaned kitchen floor Roll 2: 2 - 15 minutes decluttering living room floor - I did not get much done. This does not bode well for my ability to get everything done by Wednesday. Roll 3: 2 - 15 more minutes on the living room floor - This time I got a lot more done. The living room floor is better than navigable. The boys could easily play out here. Roll 4: 3 - Clean behind entertainment center Roll 5: 3 - Under M's "desk" Roll 6: 1 - Finish dishes - One load done, second load required. Will probably combine with a backlog bin. Roll 7: 1 - One backlog bin emptied and cleaned or thrown away as applicable. Roll 8: 2 - 5 minutes on boys' room. Roll 9: 3 - Cleaned off desk

Today I made up my version of a board game. Each room of the house, and My version of FL's WHB items.
#6 led to foor, and tossing or donating from there.
Tossed 2. Washed a 3 things - air drying - to go in donation bag.
#1 led to mirror/glass and the long neglected LR sliding glass door.
I'm calling LR sliding door cleaned good enough. also screen door - from the inside at least. and tracks clean enough. Its been a long time since I did that.

TY bwbb. Fly Lady's Weekly Home Blessing = 10 min max each on 7 cleaning/maintenance jobs once declutter is done - My version translated onto the game is floors, mirrors/glass, dust / cobweb, bins, recycling, changing sheets. And yes - there is more declutter to happen.
Today I threw a #6 = outside. I'm choosing the stuff and crud outside LR window/door as my target for the day. That is still to happen Maybe some weeding as well. Don't get ahead of myself wynken.
edit to add tossed synthetic duster that was losing its hair when I shook the dust off - I thought. Yard PU with that shredding. 3 lids for broken plastic storage tubs 3 plastic containers 1 umbrella dog feed bag.

#4 brings me to "office". Tossed some papers from my desk. And put photos elsewhere. Also gathered the ones of almost 4yo dgd as a baby from front of cabinet and tucked them in the envelope also. I need to work some more on my desk, and papers on the table also later. I'd like get both spaces functionally cleared and clean today. That's the wish at least. Token effort done at least.
