It's the second Monday of the month and that's time for Share Our Lives. The topics for 2025 are listed below.
January's prompt is Saving Time on Chores. I'm a paper planner girl so I'm resolved to log what needs to be done when and keep to the plan. I've been a bit hit and miss for the last several months. I like the room-a-day schedule, but since we have the hairy monster, Malone, I have to add a daily whiz over with the vacuum to keep the dog hair and at this time of year, the pine needles, at bay.
My favorite planner sticker Etsy shop, Bottled Honey Designs, has a great sheet of stickers to add to your planner or calendar. It keeps you on track with what room needs attention and you get that sense of accomplishment when it's checked off! Some others use a program like Fly Lady as their cleaning guideline.
I also find that clutter is a big time waster when it comes to chores. A quick once over before you go to bed ensures "Everything in its place and a place for everything". It also prevents those things like "Where are my keys?" and "Where is my wallet?" in the morning! LOL, that's for you know who, perhaps you have one in your house!
I'll give you an update next month.
I definitely find keeping the clutter at bay is a huge key in keeping the house clean as well as having a plan.
