Survival Sunday: A Cleaning Calendar

Last year when I was working full time and had become a mom, I was overwhelmed with keeping up with chores. It was getting to the point where I couldn’t remember when I last mopped the floor. Was it a month ago, a week ago, two months ago??

So, my type A tendencies kicked in and I googled “cleaning calendar”. Sure enough, there were plenty to choose from. I picked one, downloaded it and edited it to make it work for our house! The one I chose had spaces for daily tasks, weekly tasks and monthly tasks.

We taped a copy of it to the fridge and wa-laaa! Now, I didn’t have to strain my brain to remember when to do which chore. Also, my husband didn’t have to try to read my mind or ask what needed to be done. He just checked the cleaning calendar and got to work if there were things unfinished from the day!

If you haven’t tried it before, I would recommend it! Personally, I think cleaning is much easier when you do 1-3 small chores everyday rather than everything at one time!

Happy Sunday!
