My Top Tips for Starting The Organised Mum Method

I would love a level 1 video. Talking us through how you do that. That’s the bit that always trips me up

Without fail I always do my level 1 days. I do struggle with the 30 mins a day. I am suffering quite badly with depression but today I did my 30 mins checklist (took me 4 hours but I did it) gonna try n do it everyday.

Hi Gemma. Was thinking of doing this last night in bed. So this has come at a good time for me . My problem ( in life, in general) is keeping things going . I start stuff but never finish them off, eg do it again the next day! Feeling incredibly low this morning! Xxx

So nice to see your face after you've been in my ear all day!

Ahhh. I just saw this and I think I missed the trial week. Very generous of you, wish I saw it in time 😊

Is there a reason you don't have the kitchen on the tomm...isbit because it is just assumed dishes will be done?

I was considering re reading it the last couple of weeks.ill get on it x

I've been doing your method for several months and I love it! However, after a lot of trial and error, I've made a lot of adjustments to where it's more like TOMM/3-WAVE combined. I have a 1 floor house with 3 bathrooms, and no working dish washer. My 2 days off change every few weeks, so I number the days 1-7. On Level 2 and 3 days, I focus on 1 type of job instead of one room or area. So, each room or area gets some level 2 and level 3 cleaning each week, even if it's just one little section. And, the next week, each time I do one job around the house, I'll , work on the next section of each room. If I go into a room and the next section doesn't need to be done, I move on. As for detailed vacuuming, on vacuum day, I do one small level 3 section in each room only if needed. So, my week looks like this: Day 1: Wand dust high ends and corners and ceiling fans Quick swipe mirrors and windows Clean bathroom sinks Time: 30 minutes Day2: Clean/dust hard surfaces (including kitchen counters behind things) Clean toilets Time: About 45 minutes (Only spend 5 minutes or less on surfaces in each room/area) Day 3: Level 3 Focus (just 5 minutes or less in each room/area, including bathrooms, OR, Focus on area that is druving me the most crazy). Time: About 1 hrs Day 4: Showers (if needed) mop only rooms and areas that really need it, plus bathrooms Time: 30 min to 1 hr Day 5: Vacuum: Level 3 (one small section that needs it in each room Level 1: finish each area with just a quick run through. Time: 45 minutes Doing it this way, I don't have to worry at all if I miss a day or even a whole week. Each area will still get attention the next cleaning day, including both level 2 and 3 jobs. And if I don't have more than 30 minutes to spare, I just do small errands chunks in each area and call it a day. As for the outside, I have a very large yard, and have come to the conclusion that that's a whole separate beast that I have to fit into my weekly schedule around everything else. But I'm OK with that, because weeding and mowing the lawn on my riding mower are my favorite jobs and so they get listed as a separate life activity from house cleaning. Day 6: off Day 7 off Also, my Focus level 3 day is on Day 3 instead of Day 5, so that I can get it done before I mop and vacuum. This was the only way I could figure out to break the jobs down so that no room or area gets neglected, without spending all day cleaning. I haven't done it this way for a dull week yet, but so far, it's been extremely do able, even on days like yesterday when I was feeling extremely lazy and tured. I just put 9ff my level 2 cleaning until it was time to start dinner, and went through the house doing my 30 minutes of level 2 cleaning while prepping dinner. Then, I was freed up to do the daily kitchen cleaning while I cooked. The rest of the day was just quick little 5 minute pick-ups as 8 went about doing other more important things, like spend time with my hubby and fur kids.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make this work for me. While 30 minutes sounds short, I'm thinking it may be too long for me. I may have to change to 15 min or even 10min for this stage of my life with the thought something is better than nothing.

Omg love your hair.

Love the videos mother keep up the good work?

I just realised I didn't need any cleaning system and it doesn't need to be 30 minutes. It can be flexible.
