Simple tips to make your homemaker schedule easier to follow
It can be overwhelming having everything in one place but it will also save you time and help you become a productive housewife. Here are some tips you can use to help you follow your new homemaker schedule.
- Color code your schedule by person and category
- Use a monthly, weekly, and daily schedules
- Use a family command center
Using separate colors for each person and category will allow you to easily know what’s next without looking too hard.
Following a monthly, weekly, and daily schedule might seem a little overwhelming but if you set up your monthly calendar with more broad tasks and then narrow the focus on your weekly schedule, and become really detailed on your daily schedule you’ll have an easier time staying on track.
A family command center is a perfect way to have a “central hub” for everyone to keep bills, schedules, homework, and other things organized.
How do housewives plan their day?
In order to get everything done, it’s important to keep a schedule. Throughout the day they usually do the following tasks:
Cook meals
Prepare breakfast for everyone before work/school, pack lunches, prepare snacks for after school and then cook a healthy dinner for the entire family to enjoy.
Keep up with the cleaning.
This can be a never-ending task. However, if you have a solid cleaning schedule already set you can stick to your schedule and pick up throughout the day.
Do the laundry
Doing a load or two of laundry each day will help you stay on top of the laundry. Make sure you fold and put away the clothes too. If you need help putting together a laundry schedule I’ve written a post on that.
