Weekly routine 11 months ago

I have just about given up on the flylady concept of doing stuff daily, as I am finding I have been exhausted in the evenings or booked solid with activities lately. I am having more success with a “weekly chore list” that I can cross items off as I do them for each room, so I know how often they get cleaned and what I have overlooked. I’ve been using google docs much in the same way crazyinagoodway had previously kept a spreadsheet, except I am not assigning a score to the items, just simple “X” and checking them off when they are completed with my initial.

I also shared the doc with my hubby so he can jump in and put his initials in if he completes a task….although so far no luck (sigh…) it is just my initials all of the sheet so far. My son did get his in there for vacuuming though, which made my day!

Guess what

I’m using google too for keeping up on chores. (The spreadsheet is just for when I feel the need to reboot). I’m using a gadget on my iGoogle homepage that lists out the weekly chores and I cross out each one as it’s done. I’m still working on using the gadget efficiently though, with tabs for deepcleaning lists for each room. It’s one of the many 43T goals that I never update.

Flylady never worked for me, I don’t think her method is very good for working mom’s. If you only have a couple of hours in an evening to fit everything in, you need a system with more flexibility. Besides, she just bugs me.

Flylady

drives me nuts and I only work part time! :D

What was it you used to call her?

“The Winged One”? That still cracks me up. Plus, some of the emails made her sound pretty nutty.

Exactly

I’m sorry but I have more important things to do with my time and having here tell me every 15mins what to do just reverted me to my 10 year old self of ‘I don’t think so!’
