## Rules that keep the schedule working

1. Small daily habits prevent weekend cleaning marathons.
2. If a day is missed, skip it and continue — do not try to catch up everything at once.
3. Split tasks among household members; one person should not carry the whole schedule.
4. Keep supplies in one caddy so cleaning starts in seconds, not after a search.
5. Review the schedule monthly and adjust tasks to your home's real needs.
