MANAGING A HOME REQUIRES TIME MANAGEMENT:
Time management is a crucial aspect in taking care of a household. When a housewife mismanages her time by procrastinating on household responsibilities while family is away, she robs herself and her family of quality time together. If housework isn’t done until family is home, then there isn’t time to enjoy being together in a clean, orderly home. By making housework a priority, a housewife makes the most of the time she has by herself so she can make the most of the time she has with those who matter most to her.
