Spring cleaning
Walk around your home and make a list of everything that needs to be done in each room. Include the big jobs like repair or replace broken fixtures, retouch or repaint walls, restore or reupholster furniture – and the little jobs like dust the cobwebs from the corners and ceilings, clean the light fixtures, soak the lime deposits from the faucets, clean the oven.
Prioritize the jobs using the ABC method – the A’s have top priority for both your time and money; the B’s need to get done, but maybe not immediately, and the C’s can probably wait.
Talk over what needs to be done, and assign responsibilities and a timeline for the A jobs. There’s no need to get it all done at once, especially if you have a plan for making it happen.
