WHEN A HOUSEWORK ROUTINE BECOMES A RUT, CHANGE IT UP:
The benefit of creating a housework routine is that it makes it easier to remember tasks by doing them in the same order so that it becomes automatic, but when the routine begins to drag or is something to dread that’s a sign to change it up. When household activities change due to the season or family needs, that’s also a good time to change a housework routine to what works best and what makes a housewife happiest, since a housewife works best when she is happy in her work.
