Housekeeping Quick Tip: Zone each room, tidy, clean and de-clutter

Today's quick tip is a housekeeping tip.

This is ideal for when you only have a few minutes at a time to tidy and de-clutter.

Stand in the middle of the room and zone it.  Start at the door and work around the room.

Note: This is a great tip to get kids to tidy their room.  Give them a zone to tidy each day.  It works much better than saying, clean your bedroom.

So looking around my kitchen these are my Zones.

Zone 1: Door - Wipe over and clean glass
Zone 2: Left work surfaces, hob and sink
Zone 3: Windows
Zone 4: Right work surfaces
Zone 5: High Cupboards
Zone 6: Low left Cupboards (can be broken down to even smaller zones)
Zone 7 Low right Cupboards
Zone 8: Boiler/airing cupboard
Zone 9; Fridge freezer
Zone 10: Washing machine
Zone 11: Oven
Zone 12: Floor and bin
Zone 13: Left drawers
Zone 14: Right drawers

You can break your goals down into smaller areas or join areas together to make a slightly bigger zone.

Tidy, clean and de-clutter the zone you're working on fully before you move onto the next zone.
