(And just to remind you, I didn't come up with this concept on my own; I borrowed it from this cool woman.)
Actually, I'm doing something a little bit different this week.
Overall, my house is pretty clean. I'm not a clean freak, but in general I keep my house looking tidy. That is, until you look at my baseboards and realize they haven't been touched since I moved in a year ago.
That said, my least favorite chore (besides sweeping my kitchen floor) is cleaning the bathroom - my bathroom in particular (the guest bathroom is more motivating to keep clean). I tend to clean the part that is bugging me the most at that moment, and ignore the rest of the room. But I'm sick of never having a completely clean bathroom. So, instead of For Just One Week:
By next Monday, I will have both of my bathrooms cleaned top to bottom.
I may be doing it Sunday night at 10:30, but I will have both of my bathrooms cleaned by the time I do another FJ1W post. This is just the motivation I need to actually do it.
Oh, and I have next week's FJ1W already figured out. It's a doozy.

Good for you! I keep the toilet clean, but the sink is always a disaster. I had no idea how much I shed!
I'm not a fan of bathroom cleaning, either. Good luck getting a totally spotless bathroom! Of course, it really won't take that long, it's just the dread that comes before. At least, that's my problem.
Keeping the bathroom clean is a great one. I may have to try that one next week.
I'm going to be posting my report on FJ1W sometime today. I actually had a completely successful one.
I can't wait to hear what kind of a doozy goal you've come up with for next week.
It's the anticipation of having to clean that gets me down. Once I am into it I am fine.
I am defiant about housework on the weekends though. I work and go to school all week, but I still try and get everything else done M-F too so I can relax on the weekends!
Bathrooms are not my fav. either but I have to do it at least once sometimes twice a week.
One of these days, I'm going to do a FJ1W goal. I really am.
I have never liked cleaning bathroom and then we moved in to our current house that had FOUR of them. I try but with little kids it almost is a loosing cause. I will clean them today, we are having company, I need the incentive.
Oh dang, now I feel like I need to go clean my baseboards ;)
Erin,
FJ1W I will clean out a drawer or cupboard every day. You are such a great inspiration to me. THanks

I've missed these. I blame my inability to make and keep a goal on your lack of FJ1W:)
Um, I will wear a different pair of shoes each day this week. That may seem silly, but I have over 50 pairs and kind of just stick to 2 of them at a time...
I clean the bathroom while my kids are in the tub. It makes all the water they splash on the floor useful for something :)
This is a great one....I am kind of in the same boat with our bathrooms. I should really do this too.
Why must you remind me of how badly my bathroom needs a good scrub down too!
Thanks! :)
I remember a time I didn't mind cleaning the bathroom. Now I can't stand it either.
Bathroom cleaning - ugg!!! Did it on Saturday with some little helpers but not my favorite chore at all.
Great idea! I love these FJ1W posts!! I'm still doing my For Just One MONTH - no credit card all month.
I need to be better about giving things a good cleaning. My bathrooms are just one of many things that I neglect (in regards to cleaning). You go girl!
I'm the Clorox-antibacterial-wipe-down-kinda girl when it comes to the bathrooms. But that only happens every other week. Except while potty training; my bathrooms never looked so good.
You go, Girl! I was working on some neglected baseboards myself today...
Blessings!
Great goal! Right now, with my hobbling around, I am just hoping that dished get cleaned. Not asking for more than that right now.
Bathrooms are not my favorite either. I usually just use those Clorox wipes and call it all good! Proud of you for setting all these goals. Can't wait to see what the doozy is next week :)
Bathroom is the only thing that is TRULY my responsibility. I usually do it thoroughly every two weeks or so, with a wipe down inbetween.
I love these posts. My most hated chore is mating socks. Am I really going to have to go through the sock basket? Guess so. Just for this week anyway.
I try to stay on top of the bathroom thing, but I'm not very good at it. The worst part of my bathroom is the floor. I'm kinda lazy about dragging the mop out and getting down and really scrubbing...and our bathroom floor seems to just attract dirt.
I had 4 children just so they could each take one bathroom and clean it. It was well worth it.
Um.... Do people actually clean their baseboards? Yeah, I fail. I just vacuumed for the first time since moving in. (Maybe I shouldn't be admitting that out loud.)
