Have the Kitchen Person start
vacuuming the hardwood floors
(using the Little Vac), also starting in
the living room and following your
same path through the house. The
Kitchen Person can also use the Little
Vac on any furniture as signaled by
you. Next, he or she gathers up the
trash by going from room to room and
emptying smaller containers into the
largest one so only one trip outside to the garbage can is made.

Important Points: Back to Basics
We hope all of this doesn't sound difficult, because doing it is
very easy:
1. If the longest job isn't finished when the rest of the jobs are,
then start the longest job sooner the next time you clean that
house.
2. If you all end up in the same room at the end, then dust that
room sooner or vacuum it sooner or empty the trash from it
sooner.
3. If the dusting job is taking too long, then have
a second team member do some of the dusting.
4. If you aren't finishing together even after
getting the longest job started earlier, save all the
short jobs for last—emptying trash, putting
throw rugs back in place, finishing touches, and
checking each other's work (nicely, nicely).
5. If you still have problems finishing together, sit down and talk
about it. Don't feel that just because you're Team Leader you are
alone in a boat adrift. Try suggestions that come from the other
team members.
