Master Plan Book

I belong to a group that is just WONDERFUL in figuring out what you need to do to keep your house clean to your standards, and how often to do it. Master Plan Book is a 3week "class" with assignments Monday-Friday. The next class will start the first Monday in April, but you can go ahead and join now.

After mine is updated (I first did the class Feb 2008, and am now reworking mine), I will include some other stuff from FlyLady's Control Journal and other things I want to include. But right now, the cleaning stuff comes first, and this is the easiest system I have come across.
