housework how to tackle and organise it : what works for me

Recently I have become a little bit slack with the housework . Having so much on it’s hard to get it all done . Don’t get me wrong the house isn’t filthy. Just not as clean and tidy as I would like .

The other day I had organised for my mom to have Ava so I could catch up on things . Not just cleaning but my uni work . As this is taking a bit of a back seat as well . The though of having a whole day cleaning made me sad . I get a child free day and I’m cleaning ! What am I playing at !

So I thought to myself right I’m going to do a bit each night . So when my mom has Ava I can catch up on uni work , watch some rubbish on telly thats not paw patrol and eat lunch by myself !! ( I cannot remember the last time this happened ! )

This then got me thinking why don’t I do this every week . So I sat down and made a table of all the things I needed to do in the week . Mainly the things I should be doing more of. Like picking up the dog mess or dusting under things and not just around them . Before someone come round ( please tell me I’m not the only one to do this )

To be honest it’s been really helpful. I have only put a few things each day to make sure I can complete them . That feeling at the end of the day when all my jobs are done is awesome . The geek in me really wants to laminate my table . So I can tick it off each week .

Hopefully putting this into place now will help when I’m back at work . When I will have even less time then I do now .

How do you keep on top of your housework ?

Sometimes a helping hand is needed and that’s nothing to be ashamed of . I wish I could have a cleaner come in from time to time . Mainly to do the jobs that I find a chore like the windows. Companies like fasthomecleaning.co.uk are great for this.
