My housework Time Table

Now, are you always recalling when was the last time you changed your bed sheets? Or the last time you scrubbed the bathroom tiles? Or cleaned out the closets? All these chores can be a pain and make you flustered especially when you're all tired out after a day of work. Now with a time table and the preserverance to follow it, you will never need to recall again. 

This is my vanity table in my walk in closet. It's the first thing I see when I come home after work, the last thing I see before I go to bed and also the last thing I see before I leave for work. See the board on the right side? It's my time table. 

Everyone grew up with a time table. On the first day of school every year, we were given our routine time table right at the start before any lesson started. 

Take a closer look at my time table. 

Each day of the week is written on each post it note. Under each day, I write down what are the routine chores that needs to be carried out. 

So every evening, when I come home from work, I dump my bags in the closet and look at my time table. Okay, it says "Wash toilet." today, so I undress, wash the toilet and then relax with a warm shower after the hard work. 

Then before I go to bed, I slap on my moisturizer on my face while looking at the time table again. It says "Soak floormats." Okay, so I'll dump the mats into the bucket of soapy water before I go to bed. 

In the morning, before I leave for work, I check out my time table again. It says "Wash floormats." for today. Okay, the mats have been soaked the night before. And when I come back today, I'll be checking my timetable again and I'll see "Wash floormats" again, so I'll just wash them before stepping into the shower. 

The trick here is, not to just write the household chores anyhow. You have to arrange the type of chores based on your schedule so that doing the chores are convenient for you, you don't have to drag yourself to do it. And don't arrange all the tedious chores like mopping the floor, scrubbing the toilets one day after another. Make sure you have enough rest. You're a working mother without a helper, for goodness sake, you do your chores WHEN YOU DEEM FIT.

Note though, this tip will not apply if you're a couch potato. Anyways, if you're a working mother like me, the couch is just a luxury item which you can only look at and the potato just adds inches to your waist.
