I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while-I find with my rheumatoid arthritis trying to fit the 5 zones is too much, plus I need to get into the garden more (It's pitiful really-DH & I are garden tragics) I've hopefully come up with something to better suit my limitations & the flow of our house.My zones will be1. entry, hallway, back terrace & back garden2. kitchen & dining room3. laundry, bathrooms & side garden4. main bedroom, wardrobe & linen cupboard5. kids bedrooms & spare room6. craft area, family room & tv room7. study & front gardenI’ve followed FLYlady’s zones loosely from January 1st, this week I’ll start my zone 6. Decluttering to dos-my made cards stash (some dodgy ones can go, a lot of those were practicing with scraps) DONE-my craft cupboard-DS’ toys in the family room DONEBags to donate - 1Bags to bin - 2& recycled a bunch of magazinesI'll see how that goes - progress not perfection, right?

ok I fell off the wagon there lol
Lots of personal stuff I'm working through that's taking priority atm so I'm paring this thread down to decluttering 1 room or area a week for a while & revisiting the babysteps this month. The clutter is getting out of control & it's driving me bonkers.
Zone 6: Family room decluttering
cleared off the top of the craft cupboard decluttered some craft drawers

I think I'm in zone 7 this week the front garden isn't too bad so I'll concentrate on the study
Study
declutter snail mail declutter shelves declutter emails declutter filing cabinets - this is a huge job, I've emptied the lot onto the floor in the family room & have gone through some, sorting & shredding as I go & reorganising what I need to keep. If I can get an hour or so on it a day for the next little while I should get through it.
