The Daily Do's

Along with the TOM 30 (our 30-minute method), we have our daily do’s. These are your go-to’s. A top-level tidy that should take no more than 15 minutes. Each of us have different homes, so our dos will be different too. You can tweak your list in the app, but remember to keep it short, simple, and speedy.

How your 15-minute daily dos could look:

  • Quick floor clean
    Focusing on the main living areas only. If you have hard flooring, aim to mop once a week.
  • Speedy bathroom clean
    Mix up your bathroom tasks so that each area gets a little attention each day, including a mop of the floors at least once a week.
  • 1 load of laundry
    You may want to vary this amount based on your family’s needs.
  • Make the beds
    A super-fast straighten up works wonders.

The TOM 30

Each day has a set task to ensure every part of your home gets the necessary attention. In the app, you’ll find a customisable list of tasks for each room. Aim to spend no more than 30 minutes on the entire list of tasks for that day, remember you will be cleaning that space again at the same time next week. As the weeks go by, you will find that your housework becomes quicker and easier to manage.

The Breakdown

  • Monday: Living Room
  • Tuesday: Bedrooms
  • Wednesday: Hall & Stairs
  • Thursday: Kitchen

The Weekly Focus

Here it is. The secret to The Organised Method.

The Weekly Focus is a clean one day a week that ensures that all areas of your home get a regular deep clean. Most people do this on a Friday, but it’s your home, so feel free to switch it up and do the Weekly Focus clean on another day. The focus areas change weekly in an 8-week rotation, so on top of the daily dos and 30 minute cleans, each room gets its own additional burst of attention.

Tom Rocks

Guided Productivity Sessions

It’s a personal trainer for your housework.

TOM Rocks is like having someone step into the room with you and say, “Right, we’ve got this.” It’s not just a playlist or a timer. It’s guided, real-time support that helps you start, keep going, and actually finish. On the days when the house feels overwhelming, or your brain is already full before you’ve even picked up a cloth, TOM Rocks removes the mental load of deciding what to do and where to begin. You don’t have to think.

You just press play

Each session is designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’ve got ten minutes and no energy, or a full hour and a bit more momentum, there’s something that fits. Search for the support you want and need, upload your own favourite tunes, and even Bluetooth it straight to your Alexa.

We’ll guide you through it step by step, keeping you focused, grounded, and gently moving forward without pressure or perfection.

In the app you’ll find thorough task lists for each room that you can edit and customise as needed. You’ll hit rewards as you track your progress through the app and, once you reach the end of each week, with all jobs complete, you’ll build up a chart of glowing achievements. A cleaning streak that will keep you as motivated as your freshly organised home.
