   I am 27 years old and feel like I can never seem to fully get my house clean or tidy. College was s good excuse, then wedding planning and now I feel like I will never be clean if I cant figure it out before our first child is born!! This speed cleaning helped me actually stay focused for 2.5 hrs instead of getting side tracked I would remember the time was coming and I had to just hurry up to try to finish. I have never cleaned and felt like I actually saw results. I even dusted, did 2 loads of laundry (folded!!) And scrubbed my entire bathroom. Maybe my mother-in-law will approve of my home finally ???

     Thanks for sharing…I’m so glad this helped! It’s amazing how much you can get done when you have a simple plan to follow. LOL, I’m sure your mother-in-law will definitely approve.:)

   This is going to be a great help to me. My health has been failing (cancer and rheumatoid arthritis) so do not have energy to do a big house clean so things have fallen behind. I have have hopes the printable stuff will help me break down my cleaning into. Slots I can’t handle.
   • Stephanie Dulgarian says:

     Good luck Cathy!!! I wish you the best!!!

   Dear Steph,
   Are you related to Dean/Diane Dulgarian? Knew them back in 70’s in LA. Wondered about them. Diane was lovely blond and you look like you could be her daughter. Just wonderin’, No connection other than your name, and the fact that you are also creative and clever.

   Love it! I always set timers to make myself clean for X amount of time! I like the 10 minutes each thing though. I’m going to go try it out now!
   Thanks!

   Let’s give credit to the Flylady who deveolped this dress-to-shoes, shine your sink strategy, years ago.

     Same impulsive issue here, the photos drew my attention right away, and being a visual person I really like them. Marla, the Flylady, is a gift and she is always encouraging folks to tweak things to suit their own system. I really appreciate your one page, 10 step, system, thanks. And thanks for crediting the Flylady.
     • Stephanie says:

       No problem at all! I love FlyLady- I just wish I could stick to all of her ideas! I go through phases of being really good at keeping my home clean, but then I fall off the wagon until I get a surge of motivation again. Thanks for visiting my site! 🙂
9. Erin says:

   This looks a whole lot like a Flylady routine. Have we forgotten to give the due credit?
   • Steph from Somewhat Simple says:

     Nope- credit is in the 2nd paragraph of the post. I am a huge FlyLady fan!
     • Erin says:

       (Sheepish grin.) I skipped the intro and jumped straight to the ten steps. Sorry.
       I love your site btw…awesome ideas all over!
       • Steph from Somewhat Simple says:

         I do the same thing when I look at blogs too- the pictures are so much more interesting, so I skip the words all the time! 🙂
10. Sarah says:

    Great idea! 🙂 It’s almost like with toddlers, they can enjoy little 10 min tasks. I guess the basics really do work with adults too. 🙂
    I tend to get side tracked with one thing after another, and then I stop and think to myself “OH right I was doing laundry” as I scrub the kitchen floor. lol 🙂
11. Robin says:

    What a great post with an awesome step by step guide to staying focused on the task at hand. I seem to get sidetracked every single time I attempt to do a major clean. After two hours of “cleaning off my desk,” it’s still messy because I got sidetracked and worked on cleaning the inside of my desk, the bookshelves nearby, etc. No wonder I end up frustrated at the end because my boyfriend looks at the desk I said I would clean and I’m exhausted because my desk is still messy!
12. Gabrielle says:

    Thanks for the great idea and printout! I’m going to try implementing it into our evening pickup time. We already typically use the timer and I think my boys will enjoy the “race” aspect of it.
13. Kristen says:

    Amazing! Thank you for posting this, it’s just what I needed. 🙂
14. Fionna says:

    These are great tips. Thanks! I taught my kids to be “commercial” cleaners. When they wanted to watch a favorite show on TV, I would have them do a mad dash when the commercials came on. I was happy they were doing their chores and they were happy they weren’t missing out on their show.

    Great hints! Thanks for sharing.
16. Ashlee Rae says:

    I JUST printed this out, and am gna put in on the fridge!!! So awesome, especially when you have 2 little ones to run after all day. Believe me, house does not stay clean longer than 2 hrs!!!

    Thank you so much! xx

    PS: I also have to start buying some candles as well…hehe. 🙂
17. Kendall Schenck says:

    I just printed off this great idea. WOW this seems fantastic! Im one to get side tracked!!! I’ll be trying this out ASAP!!! Thanks!!!
18. Fawnda says:

    Thanks for the kick in the butt! 🙂 I have been procrastinating cleaning today and now I going to give this a try!
