Maybe a fusion of both, take what I like from each one and make my own plan. I have time now to look at them both.

I am going to jump in here this week to keep me accountable for the time I have set aside to do what I have planned to do while DH is gone for 5 days.

I will do the Master bedroom top to bottom, including the painting of the closet.
I will redo the caulk around the bathtub.
I will trim some bushes that I can't get DH to do and hopefully clean up a garden area.
If time permits I will finish my office cleaning.

I must admit the rooms I have done are feeling so nice and fresh.

Jody, nice to have you join us.
I certainly find that writing a list here does 2 things. It reminds me of the things I want to accomplish this week and keeps me to task.
I also use MHH has a journal of sorts so I can look back on previous weeks and see what I was doing, what worked etc.
