KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE. CLEANING IS THE OTHER HALF:
Knowing what needs to be done when it comes to daily housework tasks makes it easier to do what needs to be done. Routines, processes, and systems all go into cleaning as much as the act of cleaning, as well as knowing how to clean. When a housewife starts each day knowing what to do and ends each day with a plan for what to do the next day, her housework is already half done.
