Daily Routine

 

I was participating in FlyLady, and that's a program I've utilized off and on for years.  I still think it's a great program.  I just need something a little more personal for me.  Of course you are more than welcome to follow my schedule, but what will probably happen is you might start out with the below schedule and then tweak it to suit your family and that's really for the best, as you will have different demands and more or less cleaning tasks than I do. 

Speaking of which, my schedule will grow, shrink, and change as time goes on, for life is in constant flux.  This is a 20-day schedule.  It has most chores and such.  I wonder how it will change and grow.  I have 20 index cards.  Each one has the entire routine on it.  For example,

Day One

Make bed, swish and swipe toilet and sinks, do the dishes, clean counters, stove, and table
Polish mirrors, de-clutter and clean cobwebs in dining room entryway and dining area, dust entryway cabinets, dust breaker box and light switches in entryway

If it's Monday, bake bread.  If it's Tuesday, crochet or sew.  If it's Wednesday, do a quick dust all over the house.  Thursday is another crochet/sewing day.  Friday is getting laundry together day.

At the bottom I have little things written such as "Are pet dishes needing washed?"  A step further I'm thinking of doing is putting a meaningful verse to memorize, or maybe a motivational quote.

 

I'm working on a 20 day cycle because I'll spend 7 days on my dining area, but only 3 on the outside.
