Week 2: Top tasks
It’s been 2 weeks since our experiment with adding a Top Task to our 10-minute tidying. Here’s a recap of where we are and how it’s going!
This month’s tidying challenge
Since we did a 30-day 10-minute tidying challenge last month to start building our tidying habits, we are building on that skill set with another 5 minutes dedicated to Top Tasks.
Here is what this looks like:
I set my timer for 15 minutes.
Do “The Basics” as quickly as I can:
Dishes: Putting them in the dishwasher or putting them away
Emptying the sink
Taking out the trash, recycling, and compost
Then, I move onto my Top Task list (see my calendar and task lists below)
Some days I have a dedicated Top Task.
Other days, I choose a task from my list.
On my calendar I put a room to focus on each week for the days I don’t have a Top Task scheduled. The Top Tasks I’ve chosen are chores I think should be done every week to maintain a healthy home, so every Tuesday I clean the toilet, every Wednesday I clean the shower, and so on. You can add your own Top Tasks to suit your home and family.
I find having a dedicated day for certain chores makes it easier to keep things maintained.
