Yeah right. We all know that never happens to any of us (well, maybe so really nit-picky people with no job, kids, or pets!). I recently found another blog that has given me such a helpful tool and I absolutely had to share it.
Money Saving Mom
She's made a list that's so simple and so easy to follow, I just had to try it.
After what I've tried so far it seems SO easy and helpful. To those of us that just absolutely despise housework - yes, it's a lot of deep-cleaning. But it's not a lot at the same time. Each task can be done in 15-30 minutes.
I also love how it doesn't seem demanding or heavy. If you get to it great, if not no big deal. I don't have to stack it and I certainly don't have to feel guilty.
Each task has details, but I'll just do the basics. Let's go through a sample:
Day 1 (which I just so happened to skip - oops):
- Get Dressed
- Get a cup of tea and make a list of 5-10 goals for the week
- Complete your morning routine
- Set timer for 15 minutes and pick up main living areas of your home (see, I told you it wasn't hard)
- Find 7 items to get rid of today
- Clean out your purse
That's it! You're done for the day. No more cleaning, no more fret, no more hassle. Well, except for laundry. You'll have to throw dishes and laundry in there yourself.
If you're still wondering how in the world you can get that all done in one day remember that you have the mornings too. Set your alarm 30 minutes earlier if you have to, it's better to get up earlier and not rush anyway!
I haven't done all of it in a day as of yet, but then again I've only done two days of it. Here's what works for me:
Morning:
- Get up, wash face, prepare tea/coffee/juice, put on lazy clothes and take dog outside.
- Eat breakfast while checking email/facebook, now would be a great time to make your checklist of little things you want to get done that day.
- Throw dishes from last night and breakfast into dishwasher, start a load of laundry.
- Complete 15 minute rush task (if there's time)
- Find work outfit, do hair and makeup, go to work.
Evening:
- Take out dog, unload dishes, put laundry in dryer.
- Complete "task of the day"
- Here I would toss my items if I had actually done that!
- Do normal evening activities, put away laundry before going to bed
If you miss it, have to skip, whatever it's fine! No obligation.
I'll be posting my updates, it would be neat if you could share yours as well!
