Housekeeping

Sunday and Monday are my days off from work currently
Sunday is family day
So that leaves Monday...
I try to get everything done Housekeeping wise in the house on Monday
then during the week I am able to just do small daily tasks and straightening
Mind you I don't have children, just a hub, so my life is
... SIMPLE! (for now)
On Mondays I do what I call 10 minute tasks (a take on fly lady of sorts)
I set a timer for 10 minutes and I
DUST
Reset it for 10 and I
CHANGE THE SHEETS
Reset it for 10 and I
WIPE DOWN THE BATHROOM
Reset if for 10 and I
MOP THE FLOORS
Reset it for 10 and I
VACUUM

50 MINUTES IN ALL

We have a small home so all of this does get done sometimes with time to spare
I am NOT a neat person... I get distracted VERY easily so this schedule and the timer works for me
I also have some small, quick daily tasks that I do
DAILY I:
~Swish the toilet
~Wipe Counter in Bathroom
~Clear up clutter anywhere it is
~Check for laundry
~Empty and fill the dishwasher
~Make lunches and dinner
Then the small tasks :
Tuesday
ALL LAUNDRY COMPLETED & PUT AWAY
Wednesday
CLEAN OUT FRIDGE & GARBAGE
I am OFF from anything major...
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
These days I just do the daily tasks
There are the things I do monthly and seasonally too...
This schedule works for me and has for quite a while now
My home will never be spic and span... eat off the floor
But is always presentable and cozy and that is what matters most to me
I have time to do the important things in life like spend time with my hubby and craft and blog and read and ....

  1. Girl...you are really on top of things. I need me one of those great task lists. I used to be so good about keeping everything just so, and sort of ocd about cleaning. I've gotten lazy. Gotta get back on a good schedule. Thanks for inspiring me!
