These monthly series really make me realize just how fast time goes – it seems like it was just last week that I was writing out the April tasks! Hopefully you had a chance to work on organizing your home office space and paperwork last month {and got your taxes in!} and are ready to move on to a new task list. This month we are heading outside and getting our outside spaces cleaned, organized, and ready for summer!
We have a ton of projects to do this month so I am hoping that our nice weather lasts and we can get through everything. It’s always nice to get things done early so we can just sit back and enjoy it for the rest of the summer!
So here are the tasks for May…

If you need more space to write down your monthly goals or have projects in other rooms that you want to get done this month, you can write them down on this sheet.

And lastly, I always like to have a calendar to keep track of when I actually plan on getting the tasks done. You can see more about how I organize everything in my cleaning binder HERE.

Brilliant post
Love it
Everything looks so clean and tidy in your house! Dreaming of a place like this! Congrats on your brilliant taste for style and beauty!
Thanks so much!
This is so helpful! I already did my indoor spring cleaning but I always dread getting the backyard summer ready. There always just feels like there is so much to do. The info on cleaning a grill is essential though, I’m pretty terrified to even open it and see what’s going on!
I know! The yardwork just seems to take forever!! I guess that’s what I get for ignoring it for seven months! lol!
Hi Jenn, I really enjoyed your post & your photos are beautiful! I just subscribed to your newsletter. Keep up the good work! Blessings, Janet
Thanks so much! Just a note if you signed up for the weekly newsletter instead of the emails after a new post – I am in the process of switching things up a bit so am not currently doing the weekly newsletters. Hope to get back to those soon. Have a wonderful day!
What awesome information and beautiful photography! Wish we had as good of weather as you must have so I can get more of my tasks done. Mine will still have to wait a few weeks.
Thanks so much! We have been having beautiful weather this year – just hoping there is still water left for the summer as we usually have such a rainy spring! Hope it clears up where you are!
Thank you for sharing your post with us at Snickerdoodle Sunday!
Love these monthly tasks, Jenn! I tend to put off cleaning our outdoor area last, but this inspired me to move it up sooner. Crossing my fingers for good weather so I can be productive. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing this with us on #shinebloghop this week!
