In this podcast, I’m refocusing on the absolute basics of getting your house under control and keeping it under control. These are the basic household tasks, and I’m sharing how they work and how they work together. Building these cleaning habits will help you finally make progress, maintain progress, and survive even the craziest of times. Because they’re the most basic of the basics.

I’m on “The Basics”. It’s funny – I’ve listened to the whole thing. You go through the 4 basics but then NEVER repeat what they are once you explain them. You just say the four basics, the four things, etc etc. I’m new to podcasts so I guess I didn’t realize I had to get a notebook & take notes. It would have been nice to have a summary of what the actual 4 basics are, at the end of the podcast. Just a suggestion! 🤷🏼♀️
I really learned so much listening to you explain your thought process. And you are so right that we don’t know how much time it takes to do such-and-such until we DO it. Here are the four discussed in the podcast: Do the dishes, sweep the kitchen floor, check the bathrooms for clutter, and do a 5-minute pickup.
The first three build on themselves, but the 5 min. pickup creates a more incremental impact. Totally makes sense! I’ve never thought of mathematical dishes before, either, and it makes sense and gave me a good laugh.
It is the getting our house under control that will open us to freedom and greater progress!
I went and listened to it again because like you, I got it in bits and pieces. Things to do daily
1 – do your dishes
2 – sweep kitchen floor
3 – clear bathroom counters and clothes off the floor
4 – 5 minute pick up
