I swapped bathrooms for kitchen on the Level 2 jobs. It’s easier for me to clean the bathrooms weekly, and add a quick extra kitchen chore each day as I wash the dishes instead of trying to keep up the bathrooms every day. I do swipe the toilets every night before I shower since it only takes 2 minutes.
That's a fantastic idea! I've always struggled with bathrooms on TOMM and FL. I need a dedicated day for them. And I agree, the daily upkeep for the kitchen makes it easier to add extra tasks. After trying so many cleaning systems I'm starting to have a unique hybrid system that works best for me 😊
I've been doing TOMM for about two years now, prefer it wayyyyy more to the Flylady system. If I'm going to clean a room I want to clean it in one go, not come back to it every time that zone comes up. I have altered the TOMM method to suit me though, I don't worry about the time so if I go longer than 15 mins in the level one jobs, meh, no biggy. I also took out vacuuming and put dishes and wipe down bench Instead, as for the bathrooms I do some sort cleaning in them every morning.
She also has a paid Tomm Rocks area where she has podcasts that you can listen to with music which talk you through what you need to do next with a timer. She has a playlist for the different areas and she's also created level 1 for each day which are slightly different each day and another playlist for level 1 that includes kitchen each day instead of the bathroom
I just came across this style today. I'm hoping it fits better then fly lady. The blessing hour was completely not maintainable for me so nothing ended up getting cleaned. I find the 15 min daily and honestly 15, maybe 30 of the level 2 may actually get something cleaned on a regular basis.
Thank you for following along! TOOM has an incredible following and I enjoyed learning more about her program! If you have questions or comments, please leave them!
Thanks for your fair and honest review. I tried tomm about 2 or 3 years ago but ended up coming back to flylady. I find that works better for my cleaning style. But I always like trying new things to change things up for a bit🙂
Totally agree! I love trying new plans and re-working them. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
@@StephanieSMGH no worries. I did find my house cleaner with tomm cus I was doing 30 mins instead of 15, but at times I would spend up to an hour! My perfectionist tendencies went crazy with tomm lol. Now that I'm home during lockdown with extra time tomm sounds intriguing again ☺
@@StephanieSMGH ok so trying it again and back to almost an hour clean daily. I think I need to rein myself in and just stop at 30 minutes. But I do love how everything gets nice and clean. I worked out that with flylady I was cleaning 1 hours 15 mins a week with my 15 minutes everyday plus 1 hour home blessing throughout the week so 2 hours 15 mins, with this its 2 hours 30 mins so comparable amounts of time. I do like how I get to hit each area of the house once a week instead of once a month. How is your cleaning going?
You made a new video!!! Yay!! Actually I think I kindve do what organized mom does. I preety much just do dishes and laundry most days and then twice a week do some other cleaning. It takes me all morning just to do dishes and laundry doing things with kids and I try to workout 45 min. Most days I don’t even shower in the am. I did spend an hour taking photos off my camera and going through emails and fb and then here lol. Obviously fb and yt are real time suckers Hoping to get a better handle on things but I’m trying! I could never do daily 5 in 15 min! It took me a half hour to do laundry and fold a basket and put away, 15 min doing dishes, 10 to sweep kitchen, 15 picking up toys. Then it’s lunch lol. After lunch I went outside with my 4 year old, came in and read books, talked about letters, sat down with him to watch a movie with a cup of coffee. Now it’s 3 and I am going to attempt to clean bathrooms before I have to make dinner. I feel like I never have enough time. Maybe I’ll take a shower tonight
My Daily Five takes between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on all the factors you listed above. So much depends on the day - as any person with kids can understand! I'm getting dinner prepped now too and am desperate to get a shower tonight! This house has a master with a tub for kids and a shower for me, so I can kill two birds with one stone! Thanks for watching!
She also has an app and it's full customisable so you could change out one day for another. It's whatever works for you and your household. I'm trying to do it at the moment and finding when I have a busy day I need to do more the next day but it's still manageable.
I find that with every program. Clean Mama has a "catch all" day for just that purpose as do other programs. I recommended TOMM to my closest friend because a room-by-room approach is perfect for her home and her natural way of cleaning. I am happy to hear that TOMM is working for you and I'm sure other viewers will appreciate knowing that too!
I feel like cleaning one whole room per day would feel more fulfilling to me because you can see the difference between the clean and the dirty. Whereas cleaning little bits daily keeps the room consistently cleaner, but my ADHD brain won't get a dopamine drop from that.
This is so awesome I’ve never heard of her. I like to mix fly lady and clean mama. I love to read about how people take care of their homes and get ideas. Ty 😀
I love TOM the more you do it the quicker and cleaner your house is. It is really adaptable. Great app too

This is perfect and thank you for sharing what’s working for you with others!
I couldn’t really adapt TOMM but have taken bits from her, Flylady and Clean Mama and adapted it to something that suits me.
Three great programs! My favorite was the "three levels" mindset. Helps organize my brain!
Did it work? I want to try a version of fly lady and tomm

I'm not counting the level 1 tasks or my flylady daily routine in this time.

Thank you for the information. It does sound like fun cleaning and I like the fact that she skips the weekeds

whats the app called please ?
Love it when you review plans like this!
Thank you!
Awesome video! 👍 I would love to see you review Motivated Moms and the Passionate Penny Pincher planner cleaning methods.
I love this method but it takes me about double the amount of time as she says. I have 6 kids and a large house so I think it’s still pretty good
I feel like cleaning one whole room per day would feel more fulfilling to me because you can see the difference between the clean and the dirty. Whereas cleaning little bits daily keeps the room consistently cleaner, but my ADHD brain won't get a dopamine drop from that.
That is a fair point! So much depends on the personality of the cleaner.
This is so awesome I’ve never heard of her. I like to mix fly lady and clean mama. I love to read about how people take care of their homes and get ideas. Ty 😀
That's awesome! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed being introduced to a new program!
I love tomm!
I miss your videos.
I used to use fly lady but I work full time and it's too much to do each day. I much prefer Tomm.
Most homes in the uk only have 1 bathroom and maybe have an extra wc downstairs. Houses are smaller then amercan houses
What do you think of the new idea of time management by team tomm, the organised time ?
Beautiful 💘
