I need motivation. Nothing motivates me like a list that I can cross tasks off of. And a decoupaged clipboard. Herein lies my perfect workable daily chore list. I like using Microsoft Word and I like to make my lists in "landscape" mode. I also get a little crazy with fonts, columns and text boxes, but it works for me.
If you are following along, you've made two lists, one of things that should be done everyday and one of things that should be done once a week. Now put them together and you have your own workable chore list. Add a place for meals, other chores, kids activities, work obligations.....Type it out, print multiple copies and you are on your way to your own quest for clean.
Putting things on a list makes me get things done. Checking things off my list is like popping a great zit...ahhhh! Ok, that was gross. sorry. Anyway, is there anyway you could e-mail your dailies and monthly lists to me? I have tried to set up my own but I always give up on the layout of them. My e-mail is mhirsch@dmhirsch.com thanks and I LOVE your blog!

I just found your blog, and i think this list is such a good idea! I love lists too and make way too many. Could I also get a copy of the layout for your Weekly Docket, it's so cute and perfect to keep my cleaning schedule organized. :) thank you! carobinson06@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteOMG! I have been looking at your blog ALLLLLL day - yes I really mean that. My husband left me a couple of months ago and we have four small children (oldest 5.5 youngest 9months) we always shared the household jobs even though I'm a stay at home mom. To find that YOU (from the 'new' posts I have seen) need motivation. Let me tell you its a huge, HUGE relief!! Thank you so, so much for keeping your blog up. Ren
