You use index cards, dividers, and an index card box. I made one tab that says "daily", a divider for each day of the week, and a divider for each month of the year. Then I took 3x5 cards and wrote different tasks on them. In the upper right hand corner write how often the task should be done (daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annually, annually etc.) For example: Read Scriptures, Exercise, and Straighten living room are daily tasks. Clean the bathroom, Vacuuming, and Dusting are weekly tasks. You can decide which days or months you want to do each task and then place the 3x5 card behind that divider. Each morning it is easy to know what needs to be done, just take the daily cards out as well as the weekly cards for whatever day it is. As you complete the tasks, place the cards back in the box.
I truly feel that when our houses are in order, it invites the Holy Spirit to dwell in our homes. I feel much better about myself and my life when the house is clean and having this plan is an easy way to organize the cleaning so everything can get done each day.
That's cool but where's the spot for the Fairy Godmother? heehee ;-) That's what I'm waiting for. Seriously though, I think it's a great idea to have the house jobs organized and displayed somehow. It doesn't seem like as much work when it's all broken down and it gets done often enough.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea and I admire you for doing it! I feel like I could make dozens of notecards... its the actual COMPLETING of said tasks that would be the hard part! Are things a lot busier with the baby around?? I suppose you have to be organized to get everything done. TOUCHE JULIE!!!
