Overwhelmed with cleaning? Wish you had unlimited funds to hire someone to just come clean it top to bottom? There is a simple solution. Daily Chores. Instead of spending a full day once a week or twice a week cleaning your house or not making time to get your cleaning list done, spread it out over the course of the week and make it simpler on you and enjoy a clean house ALWAYS. Yep, I said always 🙂
A few good tips to make it easier on you.
1. Stick to 4-5 chores a day.
2. Dont do all the big chores in one day. Spread them out.
3. Dont do all the laundry in one day. Spread it out. (Check my post from last week’s Home Engineer for laundry tips)
4. Dont do all the chores in one room per day. That will get boring and wont stay clean as long.
5. Make your own chore chart. Make it pretty and pleasing to the eye. Keep it posted or bound somewhere where you will remember to look at it daily if not more than once a day.
Here is what my Daily Chore Chart looks like. Of course, make yours accommodating to you and your cleaning cycles.
So, make your tasks sheet on the computer or by hand and stick to it! You will see a big change so quickly in your home as well as you and your family’s attitudes. You CAN do it!

Fabulous tips, I do get bored in one room when trying to get it cleaned. I quickly abandon the task and move on to something else…like blogging. LOL. Again thanks.
Great ideas! I have to spread out my chores, too. I use FlyLady's system (for the most part), which has different chores for each day. I'm enjoying following you through iFellowhship!
Love your chart. I am inspired to make one up for myself. I usually just keep it all in my head, but think it is time for a printed out version.
Great idea! And your chore list looks like a menu!! Love it.
Meghan, this is precisely where I need to be headed with our home as I spend the summer finding more efficient ways to do things! Perfect! Thanks so much!
I never thought about it like that. Great post, Happy iFellowship Wednesday!
