My house is a scary mess at the moment. Everything fell apart in the last few months of planning our wedding, and now I want my cute home back! I’ve decided to start with a schedule for this week. By Sunday, I’d like to have the whole house clean. Starting next week, I’ll do my best to stick with a new weekly schedule. I’m hoping that, if I keep at it, the house will never again be an embarrassing wreck when my in-laws suddenly decide to drop by. It’s gonna be a long week!
How to make a schedule for housework and stick to it
How I did it: Pick a certain day to do something every week.
Make it a day you have off work or have little going on. You are more likely to do it if you don't have other distractions.
Lessons & tips: Believe in yourself.
Anyone is capable of anything.

I am a mother of three amd I work full time. My kids are very activie and my boyfriend IS IN A WHEELCHAIR. I am a dirty house but there is never enough time to do the things that need to be done. My kids do help.( while mumbling under their breath) I am feeling very overload and stressed. I grew up in a VERY dirty home as a child and when my own home is mess I have Anixeity attacks. I want to make a scheldule for myself to follow.

So far, so good.
a little irritated.
chores are supposed to be rotated?
ya.
and i have cleaned the bathroom for the last month!
your in trouble boy.
I’m still not great at tackling the bathrooms often enough, but the rest of the house is looking much cleaner.
I live alone, take care of others all day long, come home to my puppy and cat and have a house to clean all by myself. My grown kids have used my basement for storage and I have way too much stuff!
