Step 5: The Upgrade

  Week 1: Mealplan Week 2: Wardrobe upgrade Week 3: Closet declutter Week 4: Beyond By now, you should feel fairly comfortable in your new habits. So it is time to upgrade once again. This is possible because you focused on building the foundations well, before adding on to it. This is not about building fast, it is about building strong. During all the steps, maintain the routines you have built until now. But each week, set aside a day or two to work on each project. If it is an option to take some vacation days, you can do that. Or you can use the weekend and some extra time after work. If you need to, you can extend it to two weeks for each project, but try not to drag them out for too long. Remember, if your life feels like it is crumbeling, revert back to the non negotiables, and build your way back up.

Step 4: Zone Cleaning

  Divide your house into zones. Writing detailed cleaning lists Rotate weekly between zones Create an overview Body doubling Use soap in the shower 3-4 times a week Snooze max 5 minutes in the morning Stay in this routine until it feels natural, and you succeed on most days (and get back on track fairly quickly). I recommend doing at least one rotation of each zone, preferably 2, before moving on to step 5. If you need a bit longer, do that. Divide house into zones Now that you have a regular routine, it is time to go a bit deeper. You need to divide your home into 4 zones. If you have only 4 rooms, it will be easy. If you have more rooms, group the rooms together how it makes sense. Suggestion: Zone 1: All bathrooms Zone 2: All bedrooms Zone 3: Common areas (office, living room, hallways, etc.) Zone 4: Kitchen and dining room Writing detailed cleaning lists Now that you have your zones, write down a detailed cleaning list for every task you need to get done.
