I have tried many chore management systems over the years. Systems from books, Flylady, and other online options. While they were all helpful for a while, none of them ever stuck. Until now.
About six years ago, I learned about ‘Motivated Moms’, a checklist chore management system. I have used it sporadically over these six years, and consistently for about the past three. You can see an example of a week at their site.
For our household, the daily items are our morning routine. The boys help me with these. Then, throughout the day as an opportunity presents itself, I will take one one of the designated items for that day. If I don’t get to it that day, I save it for Saturday. I also have the added blessing of a housekeeper for three hours a week.
As we go into the New Year, I wanted to share this with you in case this was an area that can use some direction. The best system is the one that works for you. This works for me.
