Weekly Cleaning Challenge

I saw this on a blog about having so many weeks to get rid of items you don't use or declutter the rooms.  I added 3 different things to my list.  I have wanted a file or a box with assorted cards.  I also want to fill them out, get addresses on them, and put stamps on them.  Then, with a post it, say when I need to mail it.  Add this to my datebook so I do not forget.  I also added a Menu Planner.  I also added to organize incoming mail (Post is coming soon).  I also have a Command Center (Post is coming soon).

Here is my cleaning schedule:

Kitchen (Week 1) is almost done.  I will be working on my card file (Week 2) after Ethan's birthday party.  I am getting all of the birthday and anniversary cards I need.  I am also getting Get Well, Thinking of You, plus anything I think I need.  I think I will add in some birthday cards that are not for anyone in particular.  I am going to address the cards I need for the year and add a stamp, too.  I have been working on the menu planner (Week 3), which I think will take me some time since I need to find good GF recipes.  My Command Center (Week 4) and Incoming Mail (Week 6) are all done.  Our household binder (Week 5) needs updated.

See my Things for me to do daily post and Cleaning and Kids Chore Post.  In the Cleaning and Kids Chore Post, I changed the weekly cleaning chart to what I have above.  I redid them, which I need to share again.

I also want to do the monthly calendar, which I found HERE.  It has items on there that I have not thought about.  I can add items that I need to do.  Like this month print out Ethan's birthday invitations.
-Get new calendar and planner.
-Take down all Christmas decorations.
-Command Center.
-Make vet and annual appointments (almost done with this one).
-Organize last year's photos (I do this each time I download photos from my camera.  Saves me a lot of time.  I use a date system year-month-day-time-seconds.  The time is in military.  The seconds I normally put the minutes.

How do you clean?  Do you have a cleaning schedule? If you want to share, comment below.

Update: I found where I saw this idea from: A Bowl Full of Lemons blog.
