House Keeping Schedule

    After reading   this blog
 http://be-it-ever-so-humble.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-housework-schedule.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2Fhumble+%28Be+It+Ever+So+Humble%29
 It made me want to  redo my housekeeping schedule.  I know that a  schedule
is never  going to work every day..There are days, we have doctors appointmens,
[lots of them now adays,ha], there are days we have company [and that is a blessing]
and there are days, that other chores or errands must take the place of scheduled things.
 But, while having a schedule  to semi-follow, it helps me to  keep things more organized .
And seems to keep the house in better order. Thank you Dianna ,for posting yours.

Judy's  House Keeping Schedule

Every Morning Chores [ Monday - Saturday]

1- put dishes up [either from drain or dishwasher]
2- sweep Kitchen
3- Make Bed

limited cooking and cleaning.. But what ever..clean the kitchen from this.

Every Evening Chores[Monday- Saturday]

1- Cook Supper
2- wash dishes [either by hand or dishwasher]
3- IMPORTANT ---always take a few minutes , before going to bed, to pick
up and return any thing, that is  out of place [Makes for a much better morning,
and so nice, if you happen to have an "early morning, unexpected visitor,ha]

Sunday
  Sundays are a family day.. Church day, and spending time with Hubby
and hopefully visits from kids and grandkids.. And sometimes some leisure
sewing in the afternoon.

HINT: I read on a blog, that a lady, spent 10-15 minutes a day, cleaning out closets,
chest,  cabinets, etc..She said, by doing a differnt one ,each day, you keep
them tidy and  they don't require as long..[I am going to give this a try??]

Note:  Sewing is an everyday part of my life. So, Nearly every day
I sew.. This is fitted in , after chores are done..It is my time to enjoy
my self. .

  1. Your schedule looks very do-able. I hope it works well for you. I like your hint to spend 10–15 minutes per day on closets. I think I need to do it in filing. Our papers are such a mess!

    1. Thankyou Dianna.. I hope it workd too.. I agree paper work [filing] is such a hugh chore.. I try to do it, as it comes in..However, that realistically doesn't happen.ha
      I am going to try to clean a closet or parts of a closet each day...and hopefully this will help the spring cleaning go more quickly and easily?? We will see.

  2. This is a super plan, and I do hope you can stick to it (depending on all the other 'interruptions' that occur!) I followed something similar to the 15 minutes a day - I 'made' myself clean out a drawer/cupboard, be it my undies drawer, or the cutlery drawer in the kitchen. It made an enormous difference...giving a bit of structure and routine to the day sometimes grounds us and helps focus our valuable spare time on what we realllllly want to be doing - sewing naturally!!!

    1. Thank you Judith.. I am going to give it a try.. I have done the schedules before.. and they do seem to keep me on track ,of the everyday things.
      I like the 15 min plan... I am going to try doing that too..just a drawer, or a part of a closet, and then the next day..so some more..Maybe it will work.
      I agree spare time= sewing time.Yea

  7. how nice to have everything accounted for! I do some very similar things. I MUST go to bed with the house picked up (redded up, we way) or it is such a discouraging thing to face in the morning. And like you, I sew when the chores are done, although I don't get to it every day, booooo.

    1. I so agree...redded up before bed time, is a must.. If I get up to "out of order" , my whole day goes wrong..
      Sewing is such a fun thing for me... I don't always get to sew..but most days I do... However, My kids are grown and living in there on houses, so I have alot more extra time.. I only have one to take care of [hubby,lol]
