Each member of the team (except the Hero) spends one day per week on Housekeeping. It gives them time to focus on small but important tasks.
Housekeeping is a personal day. If the Hero hasn't explicitly asked for help on an issue, people can choose which tasks they want to work on. Sometimes this time is used to learn something new related to current or upcoming work.
