... you'll never get control of the chaos and clutter?
... your family is working against your goal of creating an organized home?
... you won't have the organized home of your dreams until your children
are grown and gone?
Help is here! Not only will you have a clean and organized home at the end of this 10 week course, you'll have fun in the process. (Yes, cleaning can be fun.) The before and after contest is always a big hit and the group camaraderie has made this one of our most successful offerings! This class also includes many bonuses like a free pass to our Housework Helpers sprints. You will have over 60 hours a week where you can join other women online and do "timed cleaning sprints." See the left panel for more details on bonuses.
Over the course of ten weeks you will work step-by-step through five challenges a week to not only get control of your home--but create a plan to keep it that way! Over the course of this class your workbook will become an action plan of success, filled with tips and tools to take control of your home.
Week One: During Week One you will learn about the 10 weeks to come and learn how to use all the features within the class. You will also complete a "home goals" worksheet--the first step in strategizing your success. You'll also get your "mop wet" with our first exercises. The introductory podcast will also be ready for your listening pleasure.
Week Two: In Week Two a Room Ranker Tool will help you break your home into stations that can be tackled in manageable steps. We also take before photos this week. Lastly, we create a timeline for the remaining 8 weeks of this challenge and our first Weekly Tracking Sheet. You can share your action plan on our class message board for additional cheerleading if you like.
Week Three: In Week Three you will learn the cornerstones rules of successful organizing. We also create our routine-notebooks which will be used to build your maintenance plan at the end of the course. We also have our first contest for clearing clutter!
Week Four: This week, Brook Noel walks you through two different approaches for dealing with closets. She will also share tips for managing laundry. We continue our action plans by generating and following additional Weekly Tracking Worksheets.
Week Five: This week we continue working through our action plan and sharing our progress via the message board. In addition, your lesson includes step-by-step ideas for kitchen and bathroom maintenance and cleaning.
Week Six: This week we look at what to do when life interrupts our plans and how to get "back on track." We will also explore effective delegation and how to manage delegated tasks. (Delegation is also the subject of the third podcast.) This week's lesson contains a delegation checklist. Brook's lessons also covers approach for tacking a child's room, and creative ideas for organizing kids artwork and papers. Lastly, we kick off our week-long "Sprint Challenge." Complete rules are announced at the start of Week Six.
Weeks Seven: We announce the winner of our clutter contest this week. Brook's lesson for the week focuses on "hidden clutter." Two areas that often need desperate organization help are purses and cosmetics. You'll receive a step-by-step plan for tackling both.
Week Eight: This week we keep the lesson short with tips to maximize cleaning time. Why? The before pictures are due at the start of Week 9! It is time to hustle and complete any submitted stations.
Week Nine: During Week 9 we continue to move forward on our action plan. You'll also learn about a new way to think about "clutter," to avoid cluttering up in the future!
Week Ten: In this week you'll learn what to do after this class, and how to create a Master Task List to stay on top of your goals. You will receive the new Routine System Brook created in 2008 and instructions on how to customize to the system to meet your own needs.
