## _Can’t get on top of the housework? _

You’re not alone. At home, despite my best intentions, I never seem to be able to
clean everything that needs cleaning, wipe everything that needs wiping, dust everything
that needs dusting… you get the idea. I guess this is because I tend to get overwhelmed
and just focus on a specific area, cleaning it to perfection and then totally forgetting
about the dozen other rooms and nooks that need attention.

Eventually I realised that I needed a cleaning system. I mean, if it must be done,
then it must be done properly. Cleaning is a never ending and thankless job – but
this list will help you keep on top of what you need to do, so you have more time
for the important things. Like chocolate!

The download link doesn’t appear to be working, for me anyway.
