UNCLUTTER YOUR LIFE IN A WEEK FULL
The Welcome Home Routine is an excellent idea, and hopefully if I follow it I will not end up with my bag (and car) full of receipts and cookie crumbs. It’s really easy to arrange rooms in whichever order you like on the Setup Zones and Rooms screen, just drag them around.Įrin encourages her readers to establish regular routines throughout the day, which we already know all about: 🙂 I’m looking forward to it myself!įor now – here is how it would look if you arranged your rooms to Erin’s schedule. Her schedule follows a different area of the home for each day of the week (eg Kitchen and Dining on Mondays, Bathrooms on Tuesdays etc) This schedule is one of the most frequent feature requests for HomeRoutines, and our upcoming release will include up to 7 zones so that you can have one zone per day of the week. Zone CleaningĮrin suggests that each weeknight you spend half an hour cleaning – first 10 minutes of general pickup, and then 20 minutes focusing on a specific area. The Catchup on Sunday was also my addition – Erin is much more organized and has “Rest” on Sunday. We do something like this, except the vast number of soggy teatowels, dishcloths and flannels that are produced by three grubby children end up being added to the wash every day – included here, politely, as “kitchen,” rather than our family term of “wet and smellys” LaundryĮrin’s suggested Laundry Routine for families has a focus on a particular sort of laundry for each day of the week – adult clothes, linens, children’s clothes etc.
The book has lots of excellent advice and exercises to help you simplify, although I wouldn’t try and do it all in one week, not with three littles underfoot! There is nothing like uncluttering an area only to have little people discover all the “New” things that you’ve just uncovered!Įrin talks about creating routines in several sections of the book (yay), so I thought I’d have a go at setting them up in HomeRoutines. I hope you enjoy them too.I’ve just finished reading Unclutter Your Life in One Week,by Erin Rooney Doland from The Cul De Sac cartoons by Richard Thompsonthat I have posted really tickle me, as his work often does. I am taking a stand! I refuse to clear off my tables only to turn around and continue to pile the papers back on top! (No, I haven't yet completely cleared them in the first place, but I KNOW I WILL!) My studio and my business are both so full right now, that it's been hard to keep up with all the habits and tips and tricks I learned in class - but I am not giving up. The speed with which I can organize myself, my studio, and my life is a direct reflection of my ability to make decisions. Turns out Clutter has SO much more to do with our inner self than it does our outer circumstances (I suspect you already knew that). We worked with my friend Marcia Zina Mager'sbook, 31 Words to Create an Organized Life (which I also recommend). I've learned quite a lot and highly recommend Marilyn's class to you. The hard part for me is controlling all of the paper in my life!
I miss the structured support of having someone remind me to toss something out, give something away, and donate something to an organization every week.Īctually I'm still doing that part that's the easy part. The Unclutter Your Life class that I took with Marilyn Nagelhas been over for about two weeks.
