"God engineers everything; wherever He puts us our one great aim is to pour out whole hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.'" ~ Oswald Chambers
A while back I mentioned I'm making an effort to be intentional at home. This focus includes my housework as well as providing the best atmosphere I can each day to everyone who was a part of our household. The first step for me is keeping the house in order as a "household manager".
After talking with many people as well as praying and dedicating these efforts to the Lord, I have come up with a plan of attack for each week. Simplicity works best for me to be successful so that's how I'm going to approach this new plan. All the while knowing that things come up to alter these goals, I pray that I can be sensitive to those needs and be quick to allow special opportunities to override the schedule.
I would love other ideas, tips that work, etc.!
Here's a layout:
Monday:
~Focus on laundry (sorting, spot cleaning, folding, putting away)
~Dishes
~Clean Out Car
Tuesday:
~ Bible Study at Church
~ Vacuum (up and downstairs)
~ Laundry
~ Dishes
Wednesday:
~ Scrub Hardwood Floors in entry, kitchen, bathroom
~ Dishes
~ Refill Soap Dispensers
Thursday:
~ Focus on Laundry
~ Change sheets/towels
~ Dishes
~ Gather and empty all trash cans for trash day Friday
Friday:
~ Clean Bathrooms
~Laundry
~Dishes
~ Dust (every other week)

I do that too. Every day I have 2-3 chores that are scheduled specifically for that day. I love that you have dishes listed everyday. Gotta remember those!
