Just a few lists... no big deal.

I lived to tell of the organizational frenzy...
now to implement it.
Eee... yikes!

I consider myself a pretty efficient person 

in every aspect of my life...

except home keeping.

I don't feel like I was ever really taught

how to keep a home running efficiently.

This can be no more.

There are five of us nesting in a home

built more for two.

To motivate myself,
I checked out Martha
and read through "Large Family Logistics"

and put together some lists.

WARNING:

There are some MAJOR 

OC tendencies to follow,

so proceed with caution!

However, 

I know myself very well

and know that I need every single thing

listed out in order
IN MY FACE
for me to accomplish it.

So, this first list is a daily task list.

Each day has the tasks that I would like to be accomplished.

And it gives me an idea of how I can 

schedule things throughout the week.

Obviously, I can rearrange things as needed.

Oh, yeah also if my list looks pretty

I'll accomplish more.

I've printed these off and laminated them.

I'll keep them in a notebook

and each day take out the necessary one,

hang it up and use a whiteboard marker

(because obviously I also now have a whiteboard!)

to cross off the list.

If you'd like to join this madness,

you can use this PDF as a starting point for your own daily task list.*

On Friday's list,

there is a task that reads

"Cleaning Morning: see Weekly Cleaning List".

This is an actual list of EVERYTHING

I need to clean, dust, sweep, mop and scour

around our home.

I've laminated this one as well,

so I can cross off as I go.

You may also use this PDF as well.*

I'm also planning on getting a little whistle to use,

similar to that of Captain Von Trapp

but continuing to sing and dance more like

Fraulein Maria throughout the day.

Okay, not really about the whistle;

but, really, about the singing and dancing.

Commence organizing, friends!
