One of my goals is to be a little more organized and better at House Cleaning! Not my favorite job as a Wife/Mother. But, it's one of the most important besides taking care of the kids. When it's done I feel so much better and the whole house seems happier. So, I have organized my house cleaning and hopefully I can be better at sticking to it. The Fly Lady says when you do it like this and take baby steps to get better and better it will soon almost feel like the House cleans itself :)
Can't wait until I get there! haha
So, this is how I'm doing it. kinda like the FLY Lady with a different Zone each week (if you haven't heard of her, check her site out. There is a lot of info there, kinda overwhelming at first, but a great start!) I personalized my Zones a little more, each week of the month is a different Zone to focus on, but each day starts with my daily routine, daily chores, "Zone work" for that week, and then ends with my night routine.
I have my "Daily Morning Routine" & "Daily Evening Routine" on the 1st section you see on the magnet board. The 2nd section you see there I have seperated what really needs to get done on each day of the week. The 3rd section is where I put what ZONE it is that week. (see the specifics below) I will try and figure out how I can make you a document like this to be able to personalize and print if there is enough interest. Any tips on how I can do that is much appreciated. :)
I laminated each Section and put a magnet on the back to easily organize on a magnet board or the fridge for quick reference. Of course the kids have their daily chores too. My goal is to stick to this & hopefully the house will clean it self..haha, or at least it will feel like it's not as hard and always guest ready.. ~My dream~. How do you clean your house, do you have a plan of action, organized chores, etc. ??? I'd love to hear anything that you have found that works for you.

I need a new schedule with my new house. This is great!
I went to Womens Conference & learned how to make a schedule like this one (not exactly the same but similar). I was excited when we were learning about it to apply it in my life but havn't started yet...but after reading this blog, I'm going to get up tomorrow morning & figure out my daily schedule/zones! I just LOVE your blog! I am always looking forward to your posts! :o) Thanks!
Great idea. You are always so organized! Thanks for sharing and linking up with us.

Am going to try this out, I could use the help! ;-)
I found your blog through orgjunkie.com...and I'm so glad I did! I have been in the midst of a pile of "stuff" for days (it used to be my desk and file cabinet). Now that everything is purged, I feel so overwhelmed in devising a system to stay organized and maintained! This blog post gave me clarity. I love the magnetic board. Did you make it?
I love FlyLady, she's made such a difference. Still not completely organised but getting there!
Wonderful! I love women who know what to do at home. House cleaning chores should not be ignored, but done regularly. A clean home is essential for a healthy life.
Keep on with the good work.

Just found your blog. Working on setting up a routine for my home. Just curious. What is anti procrastination that is on your Wednesday schedule?
@Kendra
Hi Kendra! The anti procrastination is anything that I have procrastinated on, anything that needs to get done, whether it's an area that really needs decluttering that I have put off, or errands that I have been putting off. Antiprocrastination is anything that you need to do that you have been putting off. Get it done that day!! :)
Nice post. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, I need a well service for clean. I has been help from cleaning service. Also they are so good for housekeeper, maids, housecleaner etc.
At this point, you might be asking yourself simply how much a commercial cleaning may amount to. Understand that the purchase price for this particular service can usually rely on quite a few elements like the distinct type of cleaning one would call for, the time needed in concluding the service and the rate of recurrence of visits.

This is very interesting, Angela. And yes, I do agree with you. Cleaning is perhaps one of the sadder aspects of motherhood. Haha! But it’s so nice that you are trying to make your work easier by actually making some form of workflow to do list. This will organize your time and manage it better, which I think will save you lots of effort and time. Kudos!
