A HOUSEWIFE PLANS AHEAD TO AVOID FALLING BEHIND:
Housework is something that never goes away, because even when it’s done it will still be there the next day.
This is why it’s important for a housewife to plan ahead and work ahead whenever possible, instead of falling behind and letting housework get the best of her.
By having a schedule in place, a housewife knows what to plan for each day and can prepare for it; she can also prepare for time off and work ahead when there is time or fit the work into the schedule elsewhere during the week.
With a housework schedule a housewife doesn’t have to react to housework, instead she can rule over it like the queen of her castle.
The secret to a clean house is to start today. Another secret to a clean house is knowing what to do, when to do it, and following a routine to do it all -- so I created this notebook to do just that! Follow the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly cleaning tasks on the cover to keep your home clean and in order. What are you waiting for?
