KEEPING TRACK OF HOUSEWORK KEEPS A HOUSEWIFE ON TRACK:
Many professionals in the business world keep track of their daily workload, and a housewife is no less of a professional. Keeping a housework journal or calendar is a helpful way of tracking when tasks get done, and it’s especially helpful for tasks that only get done monthly or quarterly; instead of having to remember when a task was done, it can easily be referenced which makes it easier to stay on track with a plan for when to do it next.
