A Routine Takes the Guesswork Out of Housework (Housework Tips by JenExx)

A ROUTINE TAKES THE GUESSWORK OUT OF HOUSEWORK:
Having established routines each day of the week makes housework easier; over time, the tasks that are done in a routine become memorized and the body automatically goes into the routine without having to think about what to do next. Routines can easily be altered for the season, family work/school schedules, sick days, etc. Create a daily routine by writing down what needs to be done each day, then do those tasks on the scheduled days and adjust the routines as needed for maximum efficiency.
