How did this happened?
I have mixed feelings about 6/10 cleaning method. I liked the simplicity of six daily tasks and 10 weekly works, but I did not feel that all the work told to Barton was the best for my lifestyle.
Additionally, I liked that the clear structure of two lists helped me focus on one task, but was disappointed that it took me a long time to complete the list.
Here I have honest ideas in the 6/10 list: what do you like and what I did not like.
The lists are straight
Often I postpone some tasks, because I am very busy in the master list of two-dos. I too get overwhelmed before starting. Along with this, it was said, six daily tasks and simplicity of 10 weekly works achieved a big goal of a clean house.
Lists helped me stay focused
As much as I hate to accept it, sometimes I start cleaning my kitchen counters and somehow purify my closet after 30 minutes. The cleaning method of Barton helped me focus rather than getting distracted by additional, often low-primaryness, functions.
The lists helped me prioritize the works that I have ignored
I consider myself a “well -organized” person, but I would not say that cleanliness is my need. As a result, the 6/10 list worked as a accountable partner for me. It felt as if Barton was tapping on my shoulder, reminding me that since I vacuum, it’s been a little late, and my car might also use a good cleaning.
The lists were going to take some time
For me, daily tasks were taken anywhere from each for five to 15 minutes, which means that about one hour cleaning will be required every day after the schedule.
Weekly work varies for less than five minutes to clean the pet bowl for the bathroom for 30 minutes. In the future, I will spread weekly tasks in a few days, but I don’t think I will continue to spend an hour every day on six daily tasks.
The list was not my lifestyle fit
I think there are good bones in the 6/10 list, but to better adjust my lifestyle, it definitely needs to be slightly ticking it. For example, tenants live under me, so I will not vacuuming every day, and a load of washing clothes per day is a little more for me and my dog.
The same goes to Barton’s weekly list; I do not think I will clean my fridge every week, but I must definitely give my bathroom priority to deep-cleaning more often.
