7 Days to Clean: Day 6 - Do the Dishes

We're almost there!  By now you've probably gotten used to making your bed every day and things are starting to look nicer.  We only have one new habit to start and tomorrow we'll put it all together.
  • Make your bed!
  • Swift swipe the bathroom
  • Throw a load of laundry in the wash
Head out and be a happy, productive busy bee. When you get home:
  • Get and sort the mail
  • Dry and fold the laundry
  • Spend 5 minutes decluttering
Relax and enjoy your dinner, then afterward wash the dishes and wipe down the kitchen.  Dishes are much easier to clean when they're still fresh and nothing says  "ugh" in the morning like trying to make breakfast around a sink full of dirty dishes.

When I'm doing dishes every day, I like to wash them by hand, but that might not be practical for a big family.  Remember that the system has to work for you.  All told you might have spent 20 minutes today cleaning but in no more than 5 minute increments.
