Getting Things Done (a bit at a time)

Some jobs just seem to never get done. We promise we will get around to it bit we never do. Sometimes we get the job and before we know it it is time to do it again but we don't have time because we have all these other jobs we have to that we have been putting off. There is too much to do and not enough time to do it! Oh well, I will just watch TV this afternoon and make a start on cleaning up the laundry tomorrow. The kitchen will have to wait until next week, so what if this what I said last week and the week before. Nobody looks at the dirty air vent of those stains on the carpet anyway - except me of course, ...... every week.

Does this sound familiar?

It was me 4 years ago when I began my career as a stay at home dad. After leaving the work force to look after my 2 boys and the house i thought it could not be much different to running the multi million dollar department I was charged with in my job.

I soon discovered that without a routine I would get nowhere so I created a routine.
I soon discovered that with a newborn and a toddler  a routine is a loose term for swimming through your chores as best you can.
I soon decided it was not going to be a cake walk and those DVD's I wanted to watch would have to wait (lets watch the Wiggles again instead) until I get the house cleaned.

I gave up cleaning the house in one day and broke it up into segments that would be completed each day. Bathroom Tuesday, Floors Monday, Thursday and everytime theres was a spillage, Windows and mirrors Thursday and so on. This way I found it much easier to keep the house clean and achieve other chores (gardening decluttering) and then by chance I came across a website that it all even easier.
I followed the guides on the Flylady website recommend it to anyone having trouble getting things done and to everyone for ideas of parts of the house we seem to forget about. Visit the Flylady Website Here.
