Where has the organization gone?

Over the last few weeks has gotten so busy that not only did I fall off the wagon I'm pretty sure it ran me over as well. I found my self back sliding into old habits. Forgetting to make time for me and just feeling completely overwhelmed. My house fell back into its disorganized mess and I felt like I totally couldn't do this but today I realized that I can do this. I have to do this for my family but most of all for me. So I can't do everything right now. So what! I can do a little here and there and a little is better than nothing at all.

So this week I want to go back to list. I want you to go around your house and write down all the daily task your home needs you to do. Now you can make your list in a few different ways. Option one is to go with the fly lady and make a daily home routine. Option two is to make a tickler file with each chore being on a 3x5 cards in a file box and each day you file what you need to do for the next day like the slob sisters. Option three is to make your list organized by each room on your computer/iPad. I found an app for my iPad that I'm testing this week for this just for this expect more on that soon. But any way you choose to do it you will wake up each morning knowing the daily chores you need to do.

For extra credit after you have made your chore list I want you to time your cleaning. Find out how long each chore takes you. You will be surprised at how little time some chores really take. Time how long doing everything takes you so you know. The next time your cleaning set a timer and see just how much you can get done. I like to set my timer for 15 mins and just see how much I can get though.

Good luck this week guys.
