I have left you all in suspense because it is Works-For-Me Wednesday! I thought I would share my weekly plan. I hint at it on my sidebar under the 'Front Porch' section, but I haven't explained the process, so here goes. This is a very condensed version by the way. One of these days I'll do a home management series and go more in depth with it. First off, let me tell you that I love order, schedules, organizing and all those things that drive so many people nuts. Yes God has been good to loosen me up a bit. Children have a way of doing that. You know in Winnie The Pooh there is this episode where Rabbit is following his list of to-do's for spring cleaning and he says, "Happiness is a schedule and sticking to it." Well my brother happened to be in my home when this line just seemed to jump out of the television to which he replied, laughing, "You are Rabbit!" He and my hubby had a good laugh and ever since I have often been referred to as Rabbit. Lets just hope I can dial it down a notch from Rabbits' compulsiveness. Also let me give credit to Kim over at the Large Family Logistics site and her take on this outline. I took her daily list and tweaked it to fit my own. Check out her site! She has great stuff and a deeper explanation of this plan. Anyhow, here's my weekly list: Monday - Cleaning & Laundry Day Tuesday - Cleaning & Laundry Day Wednesday - Kitchen Day Thursday - Office Day Friday - Town Day Saturday - Gardening/Home Projects Day Sunday - Rest Sounds simple, eh? Well this little plan has really helped me to streamline my housework. Obviously you could assign cleaning and laundry to their own days, but that was overwhelming me so now I split it into two days. This is not to say that I don't do any cleaning or laundry on other days, but these are the days that the deep cleaning and load after load of laundry get done. Kitchen Day is for extra cleaning, baking treats and extras, and for adding meals to your freezer. Office Day is for filing, paying bills and keeping up on the endless papers that come into our homes. Town Day is for as many errands, grocery shopping and the like that you can fit into one day. Garden Day is for maintaining the outside of your home and for us that includes remodeling projects as well. This is, like I said a very concise explanation of my weekly schedule. There are cleaning chores I rotate on Kitchen and Cleaning Days, and I have a detailed list for each day. But that is for another post. This post is long now as it is! This is what Works For Me! Have a blessed week - Janelle |
Yes I am still here! I took a few days off from blogging. I have been spending my time instead looking at other blogs and I have layout envy. Yeah, pathetic I know. I have been learning how to change my layout but I have a long way to go. I hope to get some time over the next month to do some layout changes here. Oh yeah and I want that to correspond with my name change, but that is all for another post.Comments
