I started mentally looking around and thinking about what needs to be done, a schedule to keep the house clean and laundry in drawers. Do I work on laundry everyday? Do I have a marathon laundry day? Do I clean the main floor one day, and the upstairs another? Or do I group it by chore, and focus on one or two chores a day? I'm just not sure what's going to best work for me. I think to start anyway, I'm going to try the a-little-each-day approach to the laundry and housework. In theory, if we miss a day a home because of a planned (out of ordinary) outing, then I can (again theoretically) add a little to the other days of the week and still not feel behind. Adding in small projects each week, to spruce the house up a bit.
The only thing I do know for sure, Monday's. No laundry. No cleaning. You see, it's Chad's day off - so it's my day to do my coupon clipping, meal planning, grocery listing, and grocery shopping.
What works best for you? Why?
What tips can you give me, as I start this adventure?
So I don't have the Mom perspective, but when I was home more, I loved following Fly Lady's emails and doing chores that way. If you haven't heard of her, check out www.flylady.net
