I know you might feel overwhelmed right now, but it's going to be easier than you think.

I'm Ronnie, and you're listening to Clean with me, the podcast where I walk you through

cleaning your house step by step. Thanks for joining me in today's episode. I'm going to talk

you through a morning routine that will set you up for a successful day of cleaning. And I'm not

dishes left over from the night before. You dropped the ball last night. Maybe you dropped the

ball every night. I understand, but when things are going right and you're

able to do the dishes after dinner or before bed, you still have those clean dishes to put away.

So whether you have dirty dishes to wash or not, the first thing I want you to do is put

away those clean dishes. And you may also be thinking that it doesn't take

me long to make coffee. Yeah, it can sit there for a minute because I don't want it that hot anyway.

So that's kind of what I do rather than sit there and stare at the coffee coming out, I start putting
