Homemaking Habits

Habits will make your home run much more smoothly. Here's what I've been doing for the past month:

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Put 1 load of laundry in the washing machine. While that is going:

1. 15 minutes: sweep and mop one section of the main floor (middles only, no obsessing)
2. 15 minutes in my zone (I obsess as much as I want)

30 minutes later the laundry is done - I hang it up to dry in my basement store room

My kids are not home when I do this, but if they were around I would have them do a certain chore in their room while I swept and mopped. They would read while I worked in my zone for 15 minutes. We'd hang laundry together. We've done something similar in the past and it worked out great. Your timer is your best friend so you don't get sidetracked.
