Planning tips

  • Group tasks by room so people can take responsibility for one area at a time.
  • Keep each task small enough that someone can finish it without extra explanation.
  • Add supply-related tasks early, such as checking trash bags, cleaning spray, cloths, and vacuum bags.
  • Leave a few flexible tasks for anyone who finishes early and wants to help more.
