My Committment

Well, I have decided to be more organized, I need to commitment myself to a few things each day:

1) keep a clean kitchen sink;
2) keep a clean bathroom;
3) keep clutter to a minimum;
4) use the www.flylady.com method to have the home I want, with the time I have (which is not much)

I have been at it now for the entire week. Every night the sink is spotless when I go to bed and of course, when I wake up. The bathroom is clean and we are on a roll. I just spent 15 minutes cleaning a 'hot spot' in our house, one of the most often used kitchen cupboards. Everybody seems to just throw things in the cupboard without thought who may need to retrieve an item from this space. This is gratifying. The laundry, with a family of this size, is a never-ending job, but is clearing with the helpful reminders throughout the day from me to my oldest child to monitor the progress, even if she doesn't fold and put away, just keep the machines going!!!

I encourage anyone with little time to check out the site mentioned above. I am going to get one of their calendars and have made my own control journal and lists to help keep things running smoothly.

Between working at home for another company from 11:30-5:30, working my cloth diaper business, homeschooling 3 children, housework, cooking, etc.... I do feel better about things with this system.

Enjoy!
