A HOUSEWORK SCHEDULE ALLOWS FOR TIME OFF:
The purpose of a housework schedule isn’t to fill every moment of the day with housework. The purpose is to plan time to take care of the important housework tasks each day while also making time to rest and enjoy time with family in a clean home. When a housewife has the perspective that her housework schedule is the key to making time with those who matter most, she will find it easier to stick to her schedule and excel at it.
