The pre tasks are a series of activities that you will need to complete to help you be ready and prepared for the 20 days, such as creating a routine you can follow during the 20 days and beyond, putting together a cleaning bucket so you have all products needed for each of the cleaning tasks etc.

WHAT TO EXPECT EACH DAY OF THE CHALLENGE?
Each day consists of the following tasks:
- Clean
- Organise
- Declutter
- New Habit
- 5 minutes only
The 5 minute only task doesn’t need to be completed each day. This task is for when you mmay beon the phone, or have a few spare minutes to tidy up an area. Please don’t spend too much time on this, 5 minutes max!!
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME?
I know that everybody has different aged or number of children, schedules or work commitments so please adapt these tasks around your time and family. If you are not able to complete one of them that is perfectly OK, it can be finished at a different time.
WHY 20 DAYS?
A 4 week period is a good starting block to get your home under control. I have set tasks for five out of the seven days each week. I don’t believe in cleaning every single day, we need to take time out (weekends or a days of your choice) to spend time with family and enjoying the outdoors. Please do not feel pressured to complete all the day’s task in the one day, if you can’t that’s fine, push this 20 days to 40 days if you need. Make this challenge work around your schedule.
